## Now supporting 20 additional languages!

At [buymeabeer.online](/ "Buy Me A Beer Online"), we're not just about celebrating in one language; we're about bringing people together from all corners of the world. That's why we're thrilled to share that our platform has embraced the diversity of languages and now supports 20 new language and ways to say "cheers"!

From the bustling streets of Berlin to the vibrant markets of Tokyo, our users can now feel right at home on our site. It's not just about showing your support and buying someone a beer; it's about the shared moments that a simple "cheers" can create, transcending language barriers and fostering a sense of global community.

### Why Multilingual Matters

In today's interconnected world, language inclusivity is more than a feature—it's a necessity. By expanding our language options, we're not just updating a website; we're opening doors to new friendships, experiences, and understandings. It's about making every user feel valued and seen, no matter their native tongue.

### A Toast to Cultural Richness

Each language carries with it a rich cultural heritage, and with every "cheers," we're honoring that tradition. Here's a deeper look into the cultural significance behind some of the cheers we've included:

- **"Prost" (German):** Often accompanied by eye contact and a hearty clink of glasses, "Prost" is a staple of German camaraderie and celebration.
- **"Salud" (Spanish):** A wish for good health, "Salud" reflects the warm, social nature of Spanish-speaking cultures.
- **"Santé" (French):** With a literal meaning of "health," this toast is as much about well-being as it is about enjoying life's pleasures.
- **"乾杯" (Kanpai) (Japanese):** Translating to "dry the glass," Kanpai is a spirited invitation to drink up and enjoy the company you're with.
- **"干杯" (gān bēi) (Chinese):** Similar to the Japanese "Kanpai," this phrase encourages a hearty drink and is often a part of important celebrations and gatherings.

### More Than Just Words

As we expand our linguistic repertoire, we're also committed to understanding the cultural nuances that come with each language. We believe that to truly appreciate a "cheers," one must also appreciate the stories and traditions behind it.

## Ensuring a Safe User Experience with Automated Image Filtering

At [buymeabeer.online](/ "Buy Me A Beer Online"), we recognize that user-generated content fuels the heart of our platform. In this digital era, where a deluge of visual content floods the internet every minute, ensuring a secure and suitable environment 
for all users is paramount. To achieve this, we’ve harnessed the power of automated image filtering. Our robust system leverages the Google Cloud Vision API’s Safe Search Detection, scanning and analyzing uploaded images in real time. 
By swiftly identifying and filtering out inappropriate or harmful content, we safeguard not only our users but also the broader online community.

Whether it’s preventing explicit material, violence, or other objectionable elements, our commitment to content moderation ensures a positive and respectful experience for everyone who visits buymeabeer.online. Cheers to a safer digital space! 🍻

The Safe Search Detection feature of the [Google Cloud Vision API](https://cloud.google.com/vision) is a powerful tool that allows us to analyse and understand the content of an image. It uses machine learning models to detect different types of 
inappropriate content, such as adult content, violence, and more. By integrating this API, we are automatically filtering out images that don't meet the community standards.

Here's how it works: when a user uploads an image to use in their profile or page, the Safe Search Detection feature processes the image and assigns it likelihood ratings for each category of concern. Depending on the ratings received, 
the system can then decide whether to accept or block the image from being posted. This process is nearly instantaneous, providing real-time content moderation without the need for manual review.

For us, the implementation of Google Cloud Vision API's Safe Search Detection is straightforward. The API was easily integrated into our existing platform, and once implemented the system requires minimal maintenance, thanks 
to the self-learning capabilities of the machine learning models that improve over time.

In conclusion, as our content continues to grow and user-generated content becomes even more prevalent, the need for robust content moderation systems is undeniable. Automated image filtering with Google Cloud Vision API's 
Safe Search Detection offers us a reliable and efficient solution to ensure that users have a positive and safe experience on our platform. It's a testament to how artificial intelligence and machine learning are revolutionizing the way 
we manage digital content. 

We do realise that not all automation is perfect, but creating a safe online community starts with taking proactive steps towards content moderation. If you do see something on our site that you feel doesn't meet community standards,

Cheers!: Your donation lands in the creator’s digital tip jar. They’ll raise their metaphorical glass to you, and you’ll know you’ve directly fueled their creativity.

### The Ripple Effect
Remember, every beer purchased has a ripple effect. It’s not just about the liquid gold; it’s about saying, “Hey, I see you.
