In the post menu, I have noticed the new
button.
Upon clicking this, no visible change seems to occur, no matter what language the post is in.
I have also noticed that #translator no longer translate posts automatically anymore.
I’m wondering, what does this button do 🤔 ?

I can’t get this to work? What should I be doing?
I think the post menu icon also shows up for anon, but doesn’t seem to do anything.

I think it should be enabled the `experimental_content_localization` site setting to work but I am not sure I didn’t test it yet. 🤔

Maybe I’m not in one of the `Experimental content localization allowed groups` and the icon is just visible for some reason. 🤷
Though saying that, enabling `experimental_content_localization` on my test site has not popped the icon in my post menu. I may need to wait for more detailed instructions. :derp:
**Edit:**
Ahhh, I had to add the addTranslation option to my `post menu` setting myself. Now it shows up and I can click on it and see the options. 🥳

We embarked upon a pioneering initiative designed to enable the localization of all dynamic elements within Discourse — such as posts, topic titles, category names, and tags. This advancement will empower websites to present their content in a multitude of languages, with each site owner determining the array of supported languages.
Furthermore, we will incorporate an option to generate automatic translations through artificial intelligence. Once completed, this feature will facilitate the existence of a multilingual forum environment, allowing users to engage seamlessly within a single discussion, each communicating in their preferred language.

Got it. Thanks for clarifying!
