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.

@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!

@stefan @whitehotaru @IceCubesApp I haven't tried DeepL yet. It doesn't have Scottish Gaelic, so I can't use it without changing my Mastodon UI language or for my translation work.
I do work for a project though where they pre-translate via AI and it takes a lot of attention not to miss anything that sounds good but isn't quite right - you have to watch it like a hawk. It also can't do the specialized vocabulary needed for UI translations, which is what I'm doing.

@stefan @whitehotaru @IceCubesApp For OCR, I use https://webextension.org/listing/ocr.html rather than the Mastodon built-in one. It's miles faster.
