The developers of those apps haven't implemented translation yet.
The official Mastodon roadmap page shows translate for the official Android app as "in progress", which usually means it is coming fairly soon, possibly in the next update:

I don't know what the timetable is on Tusky, but according to the relevant issue (at https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/issues/134) it hasn't been done yet.
One workaround might be using Fedilab for Android, which has translation?

For others who don't want to spend money determining if the fedilab app has a translate button, it does have one and translate works okay. Now I have to figure out how to make the app work for me rather than against me.

You can also get Fedilab free if you download it from @fdroidorg
The reason it costs money on Google Play is to encourage people to use more ethical alternatives to Google Play, and to help fund the app's development.
I've done a review of Fedilab here if people are interested in getting it:

@feditips @vey981 @fdroidorg Sigh, @fdroidorg seems less and less reliable. The last time I used it recently, it installed a version of a Signal fork that froze on launch and lost my entire message history, and now trying to use it to get Fedilab all I get is repeated crashes from F-Droid itself...
