  • Fast and secure translation on your local machine with a GUI

    Interestingly, I think this is actually related to the offline translation features built into Firefox. Both are products of "Project Bergamot", but the Mozilla-maintained version was later merged into the Firefox application:

    Extra webpage with screenshot and links, impossible to search for normally:

    https://translatelocally.com/downloads/

    Does one thing and does it well.

    Oh— For downloading models, it's much easier to pipe/`xargs` `translateLocally --available-models` into `translateLocally -d` than go through the GUI.

    - Traditional rule-based translation. Seems to work pretty well, but no good desktop frontend.

    - Works, but crashy desktop app.

    - API wrapping Argos Translate.

  • Should the SolarPunk community speak Esperanto? A neutral and efficient language
    1 project | /r/solarpunk | 31 Aug 2023
    Esperanto is eurocentric (sounds foreign for many people, in particular Asians),is poor in history and is spoken by a very small minority. SolarPunk should focus on local languages and multilingualism, to celebrate the local culture and inclusion, instead. AI translation should be part of SolarPunk as well. So, SolarPunks should consider learn a language that could help improve their local community e.g. immigrants or dying languages. They also should consider working or using open source AI translator (e.g. https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate).
