They really need to add a translation feature though. It's getting a bit annoying running everything through a translate app, for both english and chinese speakers I imagine.

Perhaps it will get added, but it's important to note that this is a Chinese app for Chinese users, the English influx was an accident.

Still, China's overall geopolitical strategy is to trade and be friendly with literally anyone who will do the same, so I imagine a translation feature may come.

They're defnitely seizing the sudden opportunity to cater to a global audience though, Rednote ads are everywhere right now.

Makes sense, it's free money and publicity.

There are a heck of a lot more Chinese people that speak English than there are English speakers that can speak Chinese

Most of the Chinese speakers seem to be the youth

Source: I live near their timezone, and used to spend time on chat roulette and Chinese students wanted to practice their English there
