yeni bir hesap kullanmak durumundasiniz, ben de oyle yapacagim dogru zamani bekliyorum. scoble ingilizce yazmayanlara abone olmuyorum diyordu ama aboneyken kaldirmasi garip geldi. bana da abone. :P - Oguz Serdar

As Oguz suggests, why should I use an alternative account? I have only one personality that can interpret in two languages. Language is a very fundamental content filtering criteria that are adopted by content searching/filtering services firstly. FF team should spend more time on innovation. - Burcu Dogan

Planning to write feedback email, usually they listen and reply back fast. FYI, many people was complaining about NSFW content, I heard that they are working on it. - Burcu Dogan

If I did this, it was not intentional, or I don't recall. But I can see how if it was unreadable to me I might have done that. I see that I am subscribed to you now, and don't know how long. (Also: You're on my "Front Page" list) - Louis Gray

Hi Borcu ! Why not consider using another room for your native language while waiting for a FF solution ? You'll need to use Yahoo pipes to split your feeds. Ask for Brome, he did it some days ago : http://friendfeed.com/languag... - DAL

As DAL says, creating a semi-private group to write my French posts is the best solution I've come up with so far. The Yahoo pipes part is secondary, since it's only used to separate my Twitter updates (tweets with the #fr tag will go to my French group, and tweets with #en will go to my main feed). - Brome

I have been thinking about this as well and I agree with what Burcu says. My suggested solution: (1) Settings for posting: users should be able to easily identify the language of whatever they sharing (e.g. in my settings I define that I post in Spanish and English -default: Spanish- and whenever I am about to post something I have two radiobuttons to choose the language -with my default pre-selected-. (2) Settings for reading: users should be able to say "show me content in these languages only", as Enver suggested (3) The language variable should be part of the criteria for hiding content from users who post in multiple languages - Pablo Melchor

or how about a universal translator..! I tried using two different accounts, but I just can't keep up. I accidentally post one way or the other. Brome's solution seems to be the next best solution, although to date I haven't used Yahoo pipes. There's always a first time for everything though.. - John Serra

I'm not sure about having to choose yourself. Computers are pretty good at guessing the language in which is piece of text is written. Doing it yourself is just a waste of time and complicates the interface a lot. - Peter Stuifzand

Peter, if it can be done that would certainly work for the posting settings - Pablo Melchor

John, here's the link to my Yahoo pipe: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes... You can take a look at it and create you own. It's a very simple pipe. - Brome

Google has an API for language detection - http://www.google.com/uds... - Peter Stuifzand

Nice! - Pablo Melchor

Thanks Brome.. Simple enough after all.. You do end up losing 4 characters of your 140, but I guess that is no biggie.. - John Serra

Google's language detection API looks cool, but FriendFeed needs its own. Realtime language checks would be costlier than the whole system. It doesnt sound practical. Opps, sorry Louis, I should have better written code to check if you were following me or not. I'm pretty bad at manual visits and CTRL+F search :P - Burcu Dogan

hi, just making sure you all saw this from last night http://friendfeed.com/friendf... - metalerik

from Micah ( http://friendfeed.com/micahwi... ) : "UPDATE RELEASE [v0.1.2] - Added auto-language detection handling (in Configuration, you can set an explicit language with var languageCodeFrom; the default is set to auto-detect). Also added an autoTranslate option in Configuration. To automatically translate title/comments when a single entry page is loaded, set var autoTranslateEnabled = true;" - metalerik

here are some screenshots of the translation script in action from jhuebel http://friendfeed.com/jhuebel... and http://friendfeed.com/jhuebel... - metalerik

Again, I know this isn't filtering which I'm sure some people still want but this is a way for anyone to see translations within FriendFeed (not in a new tab) at the click of a button. I want to see what people write whether or not it's in english. By the way, the translations can be automatic or the from and to languages can be set to do it how you want. - metalerik

Maybe they could use google translate for translation on the fly. Just like they did with gmail. - Jaap Willem

i have 2 accounts for this. i dont have rights to disturb people with my native language. - Burcu Tüzün
