#apertium — Public Fediverse posts

Hello @Quenti Tu as vu cet outil ?
Toolset to convert #Apertium dictionaries

https://github.com/LibreTranslate/dixtools

@jerry This seems like a good thread for my security concern.

I noticed a “translate” link on my post. Clicked it to see what would be used. Was disturbed to find that it’s #DeepL. This is a Tor-hostile #Cloudflare site that misleads people into thinking security is taken seriously. Which is the same thing that happends with libretranslate.com.

In principle it’d be most secure to run Argos Translate on the server. But that’s also a heavy process. If translation must be outsourced, I suggest translate.fedilab.app. It’s the same engine as #libretranslate, but without sharing translations with CF.

(edit) guess it’s a good time to republish this:

❌ #GoogleTranslate (#PRISM)
❌ #YandexTranslate [tax(profits) →Putin’s war]
❌ #DeepL (shares sensitive txt w/tech giant; misleads ppl about it)
❌ #LibreTranslate.com (shares sensitive txt w/tech giant; no privacy policy; solicits trust w/buzz phrases “libre”, “free & open”)
🤷 #lingva.ml (FOSS frontend; still Google)
🤷 translate.fedilab.app (no privacy policy but no evidence of mishandling data either)

@luis_in_brief We've been using machine translation in #MediaWiki for more than a decade now... (Including #Apertium for a large part of the time.)

@Ashki_Faux just found this toot. https://infosec.exchange/@bojkotiMalbona/108271072631878382

There are some other tools I did not know off.

@mousebot yeah iirc #apertium’s language support is sparse and obscure. #ArgosTranslate uses neural networks and Apertium does not, FWIW.

What do you think of Apertium?

https://www.apertium.org

#Apertium is web based language translator that is #FreeSoftware #OpenSource -- think of Google Translate except it's libre.

@Framasoft , vous considérez la possibilité pour créer Framatranslate avec #Apertium?
Maintenant ça marche bien pour espagnol-français et autre 48 paires de langues.

[Liste des paires de langues] http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Liste_des_paires_de_langues

I have just found #apertium #GPL licensed machine #translation with 49 stable language pairs.

It seems to be in some way supported by:
• Spanish Ministry of industry, trade and tourism,
• Government of Catalonia department
• Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
so it will hopefully stay around.
