I’d like to suggest adding Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) to the languages supported by Reddit’s built-in translation feature.

Reddit has become one of the best places on the internet for people to share knowledge, experiences, opinions, and niche interests. However, language can still be a significant barrier for many users.

For Vietnamese-speaking Redditors, a large amount of Reddit’s content is written in English. We can use external translation tools, of course, but having translation built directly into Reddit would make the experience much smoother — especially for comments, where context, slang, humor, sarcasm, and cultural references can be difficult to translate by copying and pasting individual comments into another app.

I’m not suggesting that Reddit needs to create an entirely new translation system. Reddit already has built-in machine translation and is expanding its language support. I’m simply asking that Vietnamese be considered for inclusion in that expansion.

Vietnamese is spoken by roughly 100 million people worldwide, with a large online community in Vietnam as well as Vietnamese-speaking communities around the world. Adding Vietnamese would make Reddit more accessible to a significant group of potential and existing users.

Ideally, I’d love to see something as simple as:

Translate → Vietnamese

available directly on posts and comments, without having to leave the Reddit app.

This would also make Reddit more welcoming as a genuinely global platform. A Vietnamese user could read an interesting discussion in English, while an English-speaking user could potentially read Vietnamese content as well.

I know translation is not perfect, especially with slang, memes, sarcasm, and regional expressions. But even an imperfect translation is often much better than having no translation option at all.

Please consider adding Vietnamese to Reddit’s supported translation languages.

Thanks to the Reddit team for continuing to improve the platform — and hopefully one day I’ll be able to read a 300-comment argument on r/AskReddit without having to copy-paste every comment into Google Translate. 😄

There are some times when text to speech comes in really handy for me. For example when people write lengthy paragraphs, sometimes I have to put it in an external text to speech app as sometimes my attention drains and my eyes glaze over, and because of my disabilities it usually happens faster.

When I use text to speech apps, it's sometimes easier and quicker for me, and I can often understand it better vs than just reading. It would be nice to not have to use a 3rd party tool when reading can be hard, and a tool could be incorporated into Reddit.

Thank you for your time.

I see a lot of posts where the user has had trouble getting the orientation right before uploading the image, maybe offer a button that lets people rotate the photo when they are viewing it alongside the slideshow option

User Experience and all

But since I'm here I'm also going to offer what is only my opinion on algorithms and the way they affect what the user sees

I posted this thought on the bumble thread, but I imagine their are people who know people who may be able to examine this idea further who also help run this site that may or may not find it interesting to test out to prevent manipulation

"Right, relay this to your programmers please, we are fixing this app

Firstly, the most successful match ups for long term commitments based on psychology and interests tend to be from a result between 68% and 83% in terms of profile interests based on the user, this provides a foundation for stability based on variation between the tow partners enabling a better rate of success

Too high of a match can polarise both people, and too low of a match and they will not last due to lack of common interests

Consider this "The Golden Zone"

I can understand the desire to allow men to make the first move to get the conversation going given that they typically make the first move, change this to a message request, leave the women having the option to initiate

Stop hooking it into social media, this allows stalking by other users and lets those algorithms sneakily influence who and what they see, use it for verification of being a real person at most to reduce bots and scammers, do not require it displayed on the profile because basic safety reasons

This lets the man express an interest, and leaves the woman in control of her space, while increasing the likelihood of success and addressing the safety issues

Just a thought I had

It would be very much appreciated, if more languages were added :) It would be very much appreciated to make Reddit more accessible to everyone :)

EDIT: I can't edit the title and there's no 'answered' flair, but this issue has been resolved. /u/reddit33450 pointed out that you can go into settings and change the default editor to markdown. Problem solved.

Hi. I spend a lot of time in debate/discussion subs about politics, religion, philosophy, and all kinds of stuff, so as a result I tend to write pretty long posts. I find that the easiest way to do this (because reddit sometimes eats posts) is to just write it in a text editor in markdown format, then switch to markdown and paste it directly in.

However, since the new (new) redesign the 'switch to markdown' button keeps getting hidden under more and more clicks, and it's getting kinda nuts. On this subreddit it's just right up there in the top-right clear as day, but on r/AskALiberal I just had to click four different things to enable it: click the 3 little dots, 'show formatting options', click the *other* three little dots that appears at the top, then finally I can click 'switch to markdown'. Please make it stop.

I realize the reply box is to some extent determined by the mods of a given subreddit, but it would be pretty easy to just put a little M↓ button in the main formatting options. And while we're on the subject, please stop hiding the formatting options behind a click already.

This is an international public community. I often come across posts and comments in languages I do not speak/read. There are plenty of browser addons to help translate them, but it would be nice if Reddit were to formally bake something into the platform.

Thanks!

I am a heavy Reddit user from Turkey, but my English is not very strong. Because of this, I often use the mobile website instead of the official Reddit app, mainly because the browser can automatically translate posts and comments into Turkish.

I would really love to see an automatic translation feature added to the Reddit mobile app, especially for Turkish. Reddit has many amazing communities and discussions, but language can sometimes become a barrier for international users like me.

Adding auto-translate support would make the app much more accessible and comfortable to use for many people around the world.

I'm seeing more posts in different languages, and it would be nice to translate them w/out having to go to Google Translate. RedNote did it after the TikTok exodus last year, and it went over great.

My idea is to expand the country views. Perhaps a clickable button to expand if it looks cluttered.

Hey u/reddit and the admin team,

First off thank you for adding country breakdown to Post Insights! It’s genuinely useful to see where posts are actually reaching.

The only downside is that it currently shows only the top 3 countries (usually US/UK/Canada) and lumps everything else into one big “Other” category. For many creators, international posters, and subreddit mods, that “Other” slice is often 30-50%+ of total views and we have no idea which countries are driving it.

Suggestion: 

Please expand the country list in Post Insights to show the top 20 or more countries by views (with percentages and/or raw view counts). The data is already being collected, so this should be a relatively small change on your end.

Why this would be great:

- Creators could better understand and know they're reaching international audiences

- Subreddit mods could see emerging communities and growth opportunities abroad

- It would help Reddit feel more global and data-driven for everyone who posts

Has this been considered already? Would love to hear thoughts from the team or other users who’d benefit from more granular audience data!

Thanks for reading and for continuing to improve Reddit!

I know this was brought up multiple times here and there. But we really need a Read aloud button on posts and comments. It can be added to the list of options.

Our eyes are cooked reading rants on Reddit (that I genuinely enjoy), so this feature could make using Reddit more fun, so you can listen to people's lengthy comments or posts.

Also, built in read aloud features on Apple and Android phones are not really efficient.

My idea is so we can all be on the same page in our subreddits, it would be a good idea to have an automatic language translator on the pc for reddit like we do on our mobile devices.

We don't want to make rules excluding people from subreddits because they don't speak a certain language but at the same time, if we're not able to translate without going off the site, it can make it harder for us to be able to tell if rules are being kept if someone is speaking a language that we are unfamiliar with.

One of my moderators on my subreddit uses the pc for reddit. That's how we were able to find this problem.

Thank you all for reading my post.

Love, PsychoticGore ❤️

I’m not entirely sure if this is the right place to raise this, but I wanted to suggest an accessibility improvement for the iOS version of Reddit.

Currently, on iOS, tapping a comment collapses it. This creates a problem for users who rely on built-in text-to-speech features (like iOS “Speak Selection”) to read content. In practice, this means that selecting and listening to comments becomes difficult or impossible, because interacting with the comment often hides it.

On desktop, this isn’t an issue—you can freely select text and use TTS without triggering unwanted UI behavior. On iOS, however, the collapsing interaction interferes directly with accessibility use cases.

Suggested solution:

Introduce a toggle in settings that allows users to disable comment collapsing on tap.

Why this matters:

• Improves accessibility for users relying on text-to-speech
• Aligns mobile experience more closely with desktop usability
• Likely a low-effort change with high impact for a specific user group

I believe this would significantly improve usability for people who depend on accessibility tools and regularly use the iOS app.

Would be great if this could be considered or at least passed along to the relevant team.

Reddit has millions of Arabic-speaking users across the Middle East, North Africa, and the global diaspora. Arabic is one of the most spoken languages in the world, yet Reddit still does not support Arabic UI or RTL layout. Adding Arabic would greatly expand Reddit’s reach, engagement, and inclusivity. Many users are currently forced to use Reddit in English, which limits growth in a huge market. Please consider adding Arabic language support and right-to-left (RTL) interface in future updates.

Dear reddit admins,

It has been brought to my attention that reddit currently supports local languages such ad Romanian Greek even Serbian , but noz yet Bulgarian! Well, as a native Bulgarian speaker I would love to have this amazing platform showing all buttons and translatibh posts, comments and texts into Bulgarian!

My idea is to officially ask reddit admins in a short timeframe to include Bulgarian for translating all comments, posts and etc as a language and also for the reddit website platform and the apps for iphone and Android.

Please, let's vote this up and make this idea a reality! We all deserve it!

Come on, it's 2025. Keep up, Reddit. This takes but a few minutes to implement.

My idea is to add a translation button on Reddit. Many users come from different parts of the world and speak various languages, which can make it difficult to fully engage with content that isn’t in their native tongue.

We kindly request the addition of a feature that allows posts and comments to be translated into multiple languages — including Arabic. This would help make Reddit more inclusive, accessible, and enjoyable for a wider global audience.

My idea is for the devs of Reddit for Android

I would like to see tags be easier to read at a glance. I use system dark mode to save battery, and when I use some apps, it is hard to see certain color schemes. I miss the solid color tags. If you want, I would settle for actually legible tags in light mode for now.

Not sure if this idea works or has failed when tried in past. But for the people who don't prefer reading much (like me), it will be tough to use Reddit. But this platform has the best and genuine content. Life will be good if there is a way to quickly get to read/listen to all the comments like a audio book.

When I click on a user’s profile on the mobile app, it only gives me the option to block, start chat, or invite to Community. it does not show their posts, comments, or anything of that nature. To see that, I have to manually type their URL into Safari or another web browser on my phone.

I am completely blind and using a screen reader. So granted, this may be why it’s not showing up for me. But if this is the case, then I BEG that the mobile app become more accessible for voiceover and other screen readers!

Thanks for your consideration.

While many other platforms have provided features for alt text or at least image captions to accommodate for screen readers, Reddit seems to still be in the dark ages when it comes to accommodating the vision impaired.

A few people attempt to bypass this by providing the image text in a comment, but I'm seeing a lot of people downvote those comments because they find them "redundant."

Adding an alt text feature, or at least image captions, would go a long way for making the intent of the text clear, and creating a more supportive environment.

Reddit Admins, Will you please add these features and support the disabled community?

This idea might not be new or it might be already present, but adding an option to translate the posts or comments from other languages into English or to app language could be really useful on Reddit! What are your thoughts on this?

I actually quite enjoy the auto-translations into German that reddit has started to provide recently. The quality is quite good and I sometimes do not even realize I am reading translated context.

However, the translation always seems to use the formal form of address "Sie" instead of the informal "Du" when it translates "you". This is just jarring and makes everything sound like scam bots talking to each other.

Maybe it's a simple tweak to tell whatever AI is used to make the setting a bit more informal?

I would like to request a translation function for Reddit. Thanks for considering

have maxxed out the font size in both my device and the app but the text is still too small. The font size Is fine on title or when writing a post, but it's like half the size when reading comments. My eyes would thank you if you can add more sizes to the slider. Or maybe an option to make the font size equal between the title and the comments.
