We make good use of Mastodon’s interoperability with WordPress. When we recently moved our Vivaldi Tips (@tips) blog from vivaldi.net to vivaldi.com to start translating the tips, we noticed that things were a little off on the Mastodon side. Luckily we have the amazing @thomasp in our team, who ironed out every single issue we found.
One of the problems we had was the ActivityPub plugin not detecting the language tags our translation plugin (WPML) added to the posts on WordPress. Language tags allow people on Mastodon to subscribe to posts only in the languages they can read and use the translation feature, so this was an important issue for us to solve. Read about the solution Thomas came up with in his blog: https://thomasp.vivaldi.net/2025/01/14/combining-wpml-activitypub/.
To follow our Vivaldi Tips blog from Mastodon, follow @tips. Next to the Follow button, open the menu and select “Change subscribed languages” to choose the language you prefer to see our tips in.

Indeed, the apps don't seem to have that setting, so you'll need to review your language choices in the web version.
@Vivaldi ok, i'll give it a new try with Firefox
