But how does it know into which language it should translate it?

[–] artiman@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

The piefed settings language preferences.

[–] rimu@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The language you used to write your most recent post/comment.

Hm, I'm switching between 4 languages, but OK, at least I really do understand all of them :D

how much is the cost of running libretranslate (i am presuming it is not a small amount)? this can be abused to run commercial translation jobs for free by just posting comments. I know libretranslate by itself has a free website available, but i presume they would restrict the free apis, but I do not know how would they restrict here

I'm running Libretranslate on my home server, it was very easy to set up and costs me nothing. It seems very lightweight and caches well so if 100 instances all requested translations of the same post it would only translate the first time.

that is great. I feared that it may cost way too much and libretranslate folks might not like the cost
