We really respect their hard work in keeping the Fediverse safe.<br/><br/>Our current blocklists are almost identical to theirs, so there should be very few changes to our federation. 2024-10-05T13:13:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvdz36rjyfjcfugxaewpq4swupzwda4l6pdgatk9a7w74z5s65wzgzypf4028aemcwlygslk8t97kqp0909c8n6lexzzyx0t73r9tr7cpzxprav40 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0dc242pkqa5vsa0azjkfpkfpg3j33v72hrhfntsu04exx5e98dpgylzs8d'>nevent1q…zs8d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>DeepL API has a flat fee of €5/month and then €20 per 1 million characters. If a post is up to 500 characters then (at worst) 2000 translations can cost €20. We’ve run a couple of trials before and it looked like it could easily get to €100/200 per month.<br/><br/>I&#39;d love to use DeepL as it has better translation, but at the moment we use a service we can self-host (which uses resources we&#39;ve already paid for) and is good enough (although has a way to go). 2024-09-19T14:20:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx404y29uekakf7xk6fkwyj8hrv8pms3drlav5rjcp5tlwk974ttqzypf4028aemcwlygslk8t97kqp0909c8n6lexzzyx0t73r9tr7cpzx77kjs0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd2nhyqatza5fnhwwfl0wswxny3qh2l7y82wgelleu7cem0rvupdqdxsthv'>nevent1q…sthv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Unfortunately Gaelic is not currently available in LibreTranslate, which our web interface uses.<br/><br/>I did actually try creating a Gaelic model using a beefy GPU and Gaelic corpus from opus.nlpl.eu, but the results were horrifying. I think someone with experience needs to do it, and possibly with more data than is easily available!<br/><br/>There may be support for it in DeepL Pro translation which is also compatible with the web interface, but it&#39;s too costly at this scale. 2024-09-19T13:57:06Z
