There is already a system on Mastodon that does auto-detect your language.

If you use the website interface and type in the wrong language, the language indicator lights up and clicking it suggests which setting you should be using.

The problem with autodetection is that it's unreliable for very short messages, which are very common on microblogging platforms like Mastodon. That's why Mastodon doesn't just have autodetection overruling the user's settings.

Oh, excellent. Good to know.

Alas, I mostly use Tusky and Fedilab (for longer threads).
