Fedilab Apps

You might know that #Fedilab runs its own translation server (using #LibreTranslate).
But did you know that the app also supports two other translators?

- #Lingva: you won't need extra steps though you can change the default instance.

- #DeepL: A more powerful translator. It's a paid service but you can get 500,000 characters per month for free.

Everything is configurable in settings Have a look to media descriptions).

More about getting a free DeepL api key: support.deepl.com/hc/en-us/art

Screenshot from Settings > Timelines where the Translator option has been tapped. A pop-up display three translators: Fedilab, Lingva and DeepL. DeepL is selected.
Screenshot when Linga is selected. The default instance is displayed. It can be changed by tapping on it.
DeepL is displayed. There are two entries. One to set the API key and another to set if it is the paid or free version.

This weekend I want to install #LibreTranslate by @argosopentech in our server, next to #Discourse Translator by @Discourse and the Multilingual Plugin by Pavilion (which --small world-- I helped design in my professional role years ago).

I'm quite intimidated because I haven't touched LibreTranslate ever and I haven't found a guide connecting these pieces.

But social music lovers deserve a multilingual space, so here we go. Links welcome!

The Social Music Network · A multilingual communityI have been thinking… and I believe we should go for the full package: enable automatic translation and let everyone post in their preferred language anywhere (except topics or areas specifically designated for a specific language). In theory, this is doable thanks to several giant’s shoulders: Interface language Discourse already allows user to select the language of the interface. We just have to enable this setting.

I've been experimenting with enabling translation on my instance and since I've seen zero documentation about how to configure LibreTranslate with a purchased api key, I'm going to share my findings here.

Pretty much every guide out there for enabling translation on a Mastodon instance using LibreTranslate assumes that you are going to be setting up the LibreTranslate server yourself. That's admirable, but translation is pretty resource-intensive. When I tested this on my instance, it was taking about 2 seconds to translate a post, and even longer for longer posts. Plus there were some languages that weren't working at all. That was probably on me for not setting up the language packs correctly. Maybe I'll give it another try, but somewhere in the middle of wrestling with the translation server, I realized that I'm here to run a Mastodon instance, not a LibreTranslate instance, so I went and purchased an api key from LibreTranslate for their lower tier of $29 a month (good for 80 translations per minute). Based on the average donations we get each month, that seemed a reasonable cost that we could afford. The trouble was, configuring the instance to use the api key didn't seem to be working at all.

Now if you go to libretranslate.com it lets you play around with the api and shows what the post request and the subsequent response looks like. In the post request and in the api documentation, the endpoint for the translation service is:

libretranslate.com/translate

but if you set LIBRE_TRANSLATE_ENDPOINT to that value in your .env.production file, it won't work. After a bunch of googling and experimentation, I finally went and looked at the pull request for this feature on GitHub. And that's where I saw that in the code for the post request it takes the configured LIBRE_TRANSLATE_ENDPOINT value and then adds the "/translate" at the end of it.

Even though I was sure I had tried this before, I set LIBRE_TRANSLATE_ENDPOINT to:

libretranslate.com

Without the "/translate" on the end. I restarted the web service and cleared the cache and it started working perfectly.

It'd be nice if any of this was actually documented somewhere.

A screen shot of the Mastodon code that handles the post request to the libretranslate endpoint, showing how it adds the "/translate" to the end of the configured endpoint value: def request(text, source_language, target_language) req = Request.new(:post, "#{@base_url}/translate", body: Oj.dump(q: text, source: source_language, target: target_language, format: 'html', api_key: @api_key)) req.add_headers('Content-Type': 'application/json') req end
Screenshot of my libretranslate configuration in the .env.production file: # translation config LIBRE_TRANSLATE_ENDPOINT=https://libretranslate.com LIBRE_TRANSLATE_API_KEY=[Your API Key] In this case you would replace [Your API Key] with an actual API key purchased from libretranslate

Habe mit trivy mal neugierdehalber Container Images überprüft und bin dann doch etwas erstaunt:

Für meinen Geschmack dürften die Zahlen in diesen nicht vollkommen exotischen Images gerne etwas niedriger ausfallen. Mag mich jemand aufklären und beruhigen?

Rétro 2024 :

Le 11 janvier 2024 sur le forum de #LibreTranslate, j'avais demandé de l'aide pour créer un modèle de traduction « de et vers le kabyle ».

Un mois plutard, un premier modèle a été créé puis un second, le 05 mars 2024.

Ce fut le premier modèle de traduction en kabyle ever, avant même celui de Google.

LibreTranslate Community · Help wanted : Kabyle language model for Argos TranslateHello everyone, I tried to generate a Kabyle language model for Argos Translate and LibreTranslate using Locomotive and opus://Tatoeba but I failed. Kabyle language is well ressourced on Tatoeba and our community is contributing over there. Link : Number of sentences per language - Tatoeba For now, there is no quiet good service on the Web offering a usable translation. I tried NLLB-200 for kabyle language but it is far from generating usable translation from English or French to Kabyle, suc...
