Jürgen ⁂ :fedi_juergen:I developed a small proxy service, that translates LibreTranslate API calls into Mozhi API calls. The intent was to use Mozhi as translation service for my Sharkey instance. Why: Because in my opinion Mozhi gives better results, especially when configuring the DuckDuckGo engine. There is a <a href="https://codeberg.org/Wertarbyte/libre-to-mozhi/src/branch/main/HOWTO.md" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">description</a> on how-to enable the translation service for Sharkey with docker compose.

Fedilab AppsWhile <a href="https://toot.fedilab.app/tags/Fedilab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fedilab</a> embeds its own translation feature (default option uses our <a href="https://toot.fedilab.app/tags/LibreTranslate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibreTranslate</a> service), you can also use <a href="https://toot.fedilab.app/tags/Lingva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lingva</a> or <a href="https://toot.fedilab.app/tags/DeepL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DeepL</a> if you have an API key. But we have to add the ability to let you use your instance as an option to translate messages. That will be done.

Our position requires us to be more careful with abuses (especially bots). That's why sometimes you can notice some downtimes, but we still work on appropriate actions with the goal that it remains a useful service for everyone and not only for Fedilab.

Ω 🌍 Gus PoseyI'm sorry, but <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LibreTranslate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibreTranslate</a> isn't doing a good job with Japanese translations. I'm trying to get Google out of my life but selecting the text and translating it with their service means I can see the subtleties of posts in Japanese, especially when they're hilarious or heartbreaking.(Some great examples here: <a href="https://libera.tokyo/@padda" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@padda</a> )

Velocirooster adminensis :bc: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 <a href="https://libretranslate.com" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://libretranslate.com</a> 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:<a href="https://libretranslate.com/translate" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://libretranslate.com/translate</a>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:<a href="https://libretranslate.com" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://libretranslate.com</a>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 href="https://beige.party/tags/mastoadmins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mastoadmins</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/libretranslate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libretranslate</a>

Steve's PlaceIf you run the cuda version of Libre Translate, even though it runs in docker, it screams. Very fast responses compared with native. At least, that has been my experience. Caveat: Due to moving mastodon between boxes, the one it's on has an Nvidia 3070ti. The cuda version makes use of the GPU. Huge improvement, as far as I can tell.<a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/LibreTranslate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibreTranslate</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/cuda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cuda</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/Nvidia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nvidia</a>

ChristianHey Mastodon Admins! 🎉I'm offering a free installation of LibreTranslate for you to use in your setups. This is a test phase, but if the load gets too high, I'll add more servers to handle it.
