Turn on "showdead" in your HN profile, and you'll generally see at least one foreign-language article every day in the hidden [dead] posts that's been bundled out of sight.
- shubb 6y agoIt's a shame - we have automatic translation so articles in a language most visitors can't read are still useful to them. Of course the submitter could fix this themself with some effort but we will lose good content if we rely on that. Instead, it would be better if HN translated content and especially titles into the readers local language or English automatically using public APIs.
