The new #Pachli Current has support for on-device translation.

**None of your personal information, or the text you are translating, is sent to Google.**

**The Google Translate app does not need to be installed on your device for this feature.**

Here's the behaviour you'll see by default when you use the "Translate" menu on a post.

Coming to #Pachli Current in a few days - support for translating posts on your device.

Helpful if your server doesn't support translation, and can be used to translate posts your server refuses to translate.

Won't be available in the #FDroid and #GitHub releases, as this feature uses the same non-free Google machine learning libraries as the "Warn if you're posting in the wrong language" feature.

If you install #Pachli or Pachli Current using the GitHub releases you can now verify the installation file (.apk) has not been tampered with.

This was suggested by @Lacze.

# Pachli 2.16.1 is released

In #Pachli 2.16.0 content filters configured to **hide** posts **were not** being applied to public timelines (local, federated, trending, hashtags, and links), resulting in users seeing posts they expected to be removed.

Content filters set to warn **were** applied correctly, as were account filters, and any filters for your home and notification timelines.

Thanks to @dhamlinmusic for reporting this.

The latest #Pachli Current now remembers your reading position on the Local and Federated timelines.

If you're on a busy server and reopening them after some time you can use the "Load newest posts" menu option to jump to the top (or change the settings to make that the behaviour when tapping a tab).

If you use #TalkBack with #Pachli I've got a question about including emojis when reading out an account's name.

Suppose an account has a name like "My name "

Right now the "blobcat" part of the emoji is read out when reading the name of the poster.

Is that useful? Or would it be better to strip emojis from account names before reading them?
