#babel-fish — Public Fediverse posts

https://libretranslate.com/

seems to be down, the last weeks they limited the service to registered users because of bot attacks. 😬

Any recommendation for a free online translation tool?

(doesn't even have to be perfect... AI free or at least privacy-respecting would be great, though)

If you forget the "h" in #ChatGPT and end up with #CatGPT, which thankfully also understands you thanks to their #Babelfish :)

„Live Translation with #AirPods is not available if you are in the EU and your Apple Account Country or Region is also in the EU.“

Ba-Dum-tss.

Apple has invented #babelfish

I think that #internationalization of scientific #education & #research is good, and a roll back (as has been considered in several European countries) would be bad.

My reflection (starring the #babelfish !):

I was sad we didn’t have live translation for our #interoperability workshop, although the live transcription & rapid video publication hopefully helped non-English speakers with access to translation/interpretation tools. Meta’s smart glasses demo of the latter was amazing 😳 #BabelFish #IGF2025

Apple is turning its AirPods into the Babel fish from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Apple (AAPL) is designing a new AirPods feature that would allow users to listen and respond to live translations of in-person conversations, according to a Bloomberg report that cites unnamed sources. The feature will reportedly work in tandem with an iPhone, which will translate speech for the user and relay it to a pair of AirPods. When the user responds, the iPhone will play a translation out loud, enabling a two-way conversation.

That's a wrap - ✨781 attendees ✨ at @pgconfeu this year!! The largest #PostgreSQL conference yet.

Our team had a blast, and some presented with successful talks - a training on monitoring #Postgres & system metrics, a discussion around #community building and PostgreSQL user groups, and a talk on transitioning to PostgreSQL w/ #IvorySQL & #Babelfish. Find them all in upcoming recordings to be posted.

Also wenn man in der App einen Bereich #Babelfish für das erstellen von Translation Files einbaut und die Coder-Kollegen dann nur noch mit Fragezeichen dort sitzen weil sie mit dem Begriff nichts anfangen können.


Dann - aber nur vielleicht sollte ich mich mal um meine Rente kümmern 🤔

With in-ear headphones we can control what we hear using noise cancellation. With fast processing of speech we can convert between languages in real time. So where’s my #BabelFish? 🐟

@bobkmertz
1. Google is now far from being the best;
2. Bring back #babelfish and/or #altavista;
3. Meanwhile, grateful we have #duckduckgo ☺️

Der #Babelfish soll schon bald Realität sein. OK, nicht ganz so elegant biologisch wie das literarische Original - wir werden neben Smartphones oder Smartwatches auch Headsets benötigen, die es aber schon längst kaum sichtbar als InEars gibt. Den Rest besorgt KI. Wir können dann alle losreden, wie uns der Schnabel gewachsen ist, und hören simultan übersetzt, was unser anderssprachliches Gegenüber gerade sagt - egal ob zu uns, oder ob wir einfach nur in unserer Nähe Gesagtes aufschnappen. Auch Emotionen sollen dabei mit transportiert werden. Das könnte Fragen aufwerfen:
- Werden wir noch Fremdsprachen lernen (wollen)?
- Wie gehen wir damit um, wenn wir kulturell nicht verstehen, was die Übersetzung sagt?
- Wird es mehr Völkerverständigung geben und weniger Fremdenhass? Oder gar das Gegenteil?

I just followed a user who mostly posts in Finnish. The "Translate" feature in the Mastodon web client seems to work rather well for Finnish language to English. However I wish I could have it auto-translate all posts by her - I'm guessing that would end up burning too much API bandwidth to the translation engine in use (DeepL.com).

I wonder how long it will be before translation is considered a public service that should be free, if not a basic human right? #BabelFish

#Babelfish was a life saver back in the day ✌️

@txgx42 "Ausgedehnen Hoch Dichte"? Did they use a prerelease of the #Altavista #Babelfish for this translation?
("Ausgedehnen" would be in "perfect infinitive" form, if such a thing existed; amazingly, Google still lists 1560 hits on an inexistant word)

BTW: "Ausgedehnt hohe Dichte" or "Erweiterte hohe Dichte" would be better translations.

@dwnews_bot We owe a debt to Tim Berners-Lee and #CERN for giving birth to #www as we know it still! Merci beaucoup!
Btw, who remembers #altavista and #babelfish? #timbernerslee #internet #breakupBigTech
