Could someone who speaks #Arabic, #Chinese, or #Basque help me update the https://jointhefediverse.net site? I'm trying to remove links to joinfirefish.org and want to make sure I do it right.

@whitehotaru Thank you for the tip, appreciate it!
I'm not sure how much time this would save, I really need to just remove 2-3 words from a sentence. But I will keep this in mind for the future!

@harce Yes, a difficult one, that I've been re-thinking on and off.

I've been meaning to linking to a page like https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_are_Fediverse_projects%3F to "view all" as a compromise

@stefan @whitehotaru For such a small change, that's a definite no on AI.
Also for underrepresented languages, AI translations can be pretty crap, and people can fall into the trap of going with their phrasing. I personally find a translation memory, a glossary and fragment assembly much more useful.
-
@gunchleoc @stefan you are right.
-
@whitehotaru You are not completely wrong either - for majority languages, I have heard that machine translation post editing is actually OK and can save time.
-
@gunchleoc @stefan have you tried DeepL? It is awesome! And is covered by German data protection laws.

@whitehotaru @gunchleoc I use it for translations on my Mastodon server, as that's the recommended method.

@stefan We run our own instance since over 4 years and it's kinda odd to be treated based on how the developers behave... And for the privacy issue, as far as I understand anything that is federated most likely behaves this way. Anyway your site, your take, I guess.

@stefan thank you so much, looking forward to a chance to make even more contributions. Adding my self https://github.com/jointhefediverse-net/jointhefediverse.net/pull/86

@harce Honestly, I wish I structured the site more around communities, rather than just software, that would've easily solved this conundrum.
It's just a bit challenging to restructure the site now that it has 17 language versions from over a dozen contributors.
Still, this is something I constantly reevaluate and I very much appreciate your feedback!

@mogita Merged, should be live momentarily!
Thank you, again!
-
@stefan awesome! Thank you. Have a lovely day!
-
@mogita My pleasure, same to you!
-
@stefan @gunchleoc awesome! I didn’t know that.

@whitehotaru @gunchleoc Yes, it relies on folks setting a correct language on their post, but most seem to do that.
And as a bonus, it even helps translate text in images -- that is if people remember to add alt text!

@stefan @gunchleoc nice! I recently switched to @IceCubesApp as my client and it automatically detects your posts language and sets it correctly. Pretty helpful. See screenshot.

@whitehotaru @gunchleoc @IceCubesApp Nifty!
