        True. I modified my comment.

        Theres a mix of tools that look like they are useful in someway. Or just neat and ive never head of them.

          I mean, Deepl is useful, and more accurate than Google Translate — but I’d prefer a libre alternative. Haven’t found one yet that hits the mark.

          But anyway, that’s OT for the Fediverse sub 🙂

            If you find out, let me know…or post? Cause ive been looking for something like that for years in the software development side. The most consistent has been google translate…but its not the greatest API and expensive for anything other than corps. Most sites are just looking to make sure they meet requirements, thats it.

              Of late I’ve tried out the Translate You Android app. Not necessarily an endorsement of the app itself, but it offers a selection of 9 translator services, a few of which are libre.

              Certainly LibreTranslate and Lingva [my bad, it’s a GTranslate front-end] Apertium are open source, probably a few more on their list. Give them a try and see which works best for you!

                LibreTranslate is a bit hit or miss depending on the language, but generally speaking it is quite good, but not Deepl level good.

          Thank you for your comment – OP here (of the blog post).

          **Calckey.world **is a Sharkey instance (a fork of MissKey). I LOVE IT SO MUCH, it’s my favorite Fediverse software so far… I’m planning to write about it soon for my blog.

          Yeah DeepL is NOT part of the Fediverse - I used it to translate a comment from Portuguese to English. Still my favorite online translator but my husband also uses ChatGPT for those purposes and I’ve been really impressed by its quality, too.

          Loops.video just launched - it’s the Fediverse’s answer to TikTok by the creator of Pixelfed, FediDB, etc. It’s not active yet, for now you can register your username, but Dan has yet to onboard users. I believe he said he needs to upgrade to a new server because of all the sign-ups.

          Linux phone: yeah, I cannot wait to build one. Definitely my goal for next year - as well as a Linux computer :)
