Does it make sense to publish posts in two languages?
In my opinion, it makes less and less sense to write posts in two languages. It seems outdated to me. But maybe I'm wrong and there are still people out there who find translations helpful.
So my question is...
...are bilingual posts helpful to you, irrelevant, or even annoying?

Why it no longer makes sense for me
I have the Vivaldi browser with integrated translation function installed on my PC and smartphone. For bilingual posts, especially when languages are written alternately or in two columns, the tool does not always work reliably. Bilingualism is then, at least for me, rather disadvantageous.
Presumably, the number of users of translation tools will continue to grow, while those who translate manually, e.g., with DeepL, will decline in the future.
In addition, we have Steem frontends with integrated translation function.
SteemPro
On SteemPro, there is a corresponding button at the top right of each post:
As you can see, there are quite a few languages to choose from.
SteemX
At steemx.org, you can also translate posts with a single click. The language selection is not as extensive as at SteemPro, but it does include Italian and Venezuelan, which SteemPro doesn't have.
Tips?
What do you think? And maybe someone has a tip for those who haven't found an easy solution yet.
For a long time now, posts in any language hasn’t been a problem for me. I simply copy the entire text of a page into ChatGPT and ask it to translate the article into the language I need. AI is like the devil - it knows all the languages of the world, absolutely all of them. Even Latin :)) Publications laid out in two columns, in my opinion, are very inconvenient to read on a smartphone, but that’s just my personal view.
