You might know that #Fedilab runs its own translation server (using #LibreTranslate).
But did you know that the app also supports two other translators?

- #Lingva: you won't need extra steps though you can change the default instance.

- #DeepL: A more powerful translator. It's a paid service but you can get 500,000 characters per month for free.

Everything is configurable in settings Have a look to media descriptions).

An important point, the app will not send "sensitive" data to translation servers.
Hashtags, mentions, URLs, mails, etc. are obfuscated by default.

thanks🙂. You are fast. When I report any bug, I have to wait weeks or months to see fixed bug.

Great! Just a question/feature suggestion: could it be possibile to add MinT (Wikimedia's translation engine, translate.wmcloud.org/ ) and Apertium to it? They support languages that even LibreTranslate, Lingva and Deepl don't have, and Translate You ( github.com/you-apps/TranslateY… ) has them alongside many other engines, so maybe there is a way to do it in Fedilab too?
