A future feature for Mastodon would be to detect the language of a post, and offer the translate link if it doesn't match the viewer's language tags.
Often, posters are posting in language that doesn't match the post's language tag, so the translate link isn't offered, because Mastodon thinks it's in the viewer's language.
