When posting a comment on social media, should I use my language, theirs, or both?
I follow someone on Instagram who posts great book reviews. They write long, interesting captions about books that I also enjoy reading... but they read translations of the books and review in Polish. I don't speak even one word of Polish and rely entirely on auto-translate to read the posts. When I comment, I write my English response along with a Google Translate version in parentheses. Is this best practice? I wouldn't want to give a bad translation OR give the impression that I actually understand Polish, but I definitely don't want to be a nuisance.

Writing the comments in English along with a Google Translate version in parentheses is the best option. You are doing right buddy!
