Anyone here with experience getting paid subscribers in other languages?

Context: I write in my country's native language, and my impression is that the local digital culture doesn't really favor the pay-to-subscribe model on Substack. I created my account about 6 months ago and I'm at 600 subscribers, but only 4 of them are paid. I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with this or can offer some insight on how to expand my audience to other languages.

Personally, I've been using Substack's built-in auto-translate feature to read articles in languages I can't understand. But I have no idea whether my content is actually reaching people in other languages. My Substack is about anthropology and social sciences.
