#libretranslate

✨ New service on envs.net: LibreTranslate We are now offering a public LibreTranslate instance at: https://translate.envs.net/ LibreTranslate is a free and open-source translation service with support for many languages, available through both a web interface and an API. 🌍 Available worldwide 🔓 Open Source 🖥️ Self-hosted by envs.net 🔗 https://translate.envs.net/ Happy translating! 💚 #envsnet #LibreTranslate #OpenSource #SelfHosted

Today, I spent a long time trying to understand why the in-app translator using #LibreTranslate was still being abused. I took drastic measures, because legit translations were stuck in the queue behind the abusers (now they are quick). But these measures also kicked out people using the API without abusing it. So please DM us if you're affected. Tom

RE: https://mastodon.uno/@andreabettini/116889496625591251 Ogni anno il pianeta non ci da respiro e i consumi energetici continuano ad aumentare, aumentando di fatto le temperature globali con i datacenter che stanno diventando una delle più importanti voci di consumo energetico grazie all'IA. Per questo non usiamo servizi di traduzione IA come deepl ma il più semplice #libretranslate ed è per questo che usiamo solo server green e compensiamo il consumo di risorse piantando alberi con il nostro piano di consapevolezza ambientale: https://ko-fi.com/post/Consapevolezza-Ambientale-Y0U822TCQH

I am a little confused by the reactions to my last suggestion. It makes me wonder if I should also stop #LibreTranslate in #Fedilab, because it also uses AI. But it was already trained. When I use it, I only run it, I do not train it. I would like to hear your views before I decide anything. We can keep talking here calmly, I am really open to it.

The only service being abused on my server is the translation one with #LibreTranslate, so I am going to introduce an API key that will discard a lot of bots.

is libretranslate ethical? #noAI #Askfedi #Libretranslate

Running a #LibreTranslate server takes work behind the scenes. My latest optimization adds a parallel queue system to avoid killing the service when it gets abused, but it can introduce immediate 503 errors for some users when the service is under heavy load. I will work on a smooth balance to stop bot abuse and avoid Fedilab/Holos users being restricted.

Better translations are here! 🌍✨ We’ve just upgraded the translation engine on our instance! 🚀 Previously, we relied on the older Argos-MT models. Let’s be honest: the translations were... awkward. They often felt robotic and struggled with context, making global conversations a bit of a puzzle. 🤖🧩 #Mastodon #SelfHosted #LibreTranslate #OpenSource #Fediverse #DevOps
