Automatic site translation

Lichess is a very diverse site but I feel it's separated by languages.

My idea to fix this would to have an option to automatically translate text into English or a language set by the user.

I don't think this would be unnecessary because of how diverse lichess is and I think it will bring in more diverse people.

This will also make lichess a better experience for everyone because they can all share learning information.

Thank you for reading and considering.
There are browser-wide extensions that let you translate text on every site you visit, including Lichess. But machine translations are only partially reliable; they don't translate idioms and can just be flat wrong about what the text says, so it's still "trust at your own risk".
