Translate post with AI and save translation

We had a ‘speak your own language day’ on our forum. We don’t want it to automatically translate everything because AI translations aren’t perfect, but I did use the AI translate a lot during that day.

I found that highlighting the text of the post and clicking “Ask AI” then “Translate to English” was a bit fiddly, especially on mobile. Can’t we add a “translate” button onto a post, either under the “…” menu or automatically when a language is detected?

It also made me think - if I use AI to translate a post to English, and so do 100 other people, that’s 100 uses of the API which costs money… why don’t we have a way to save the English version to the post automatically after 1 person has translated it?

Then it can show a button to switch to English or read in the original language.

I think this would be a really useful feature!

I suggested something like this too in Saving translations by AI-helper as content localization
