It’s really interesting that none of the traditional social platform clients support full auto-translations. You can translate on an individual post basis by tapping a button but it’s less effective in encouraging cross-language conversations and their translation quality is generally poor. Damus fixes these problems on Nostr by implementing auto-translations and DeepL integration. Amethyst too (though it’s using Google ML Kit offline which doesn’t have as good quality translations, but works well enough). The level of global conversation unlocked here is wild. Hope to see this feature come to all Nostr clients.

Unlocking the the global conversation is key. It widens our audience immensely and allows us to communicate with people we otherwise wouldn't have easily been able to do so. 🤙🏻

This is a huge superpower. This was on the roadmap at Twitter. It will be a huge advantage for any clients that implement well and will truly create the global “public square.”

Back on the road to the digital Tower of Babel

Agree 💯
1. Ensure that your list of preferred languages in iOS settings has the languages that you understand only fluently. 2. Go to Damus settings and select DeepL Free as your translation service. 3. Sign up for an API plan. It’ll KYC you (unfortunately) by asking for credit card but it won’t charge you. In return, you get a free API key. 4. Paste the API key into Damus settings. 5. The global fun begins!
Thanks. KYC is a no go though.

Go to setting. Translation. Choose DeepL. Choose free version. It requisition a API key. Tap get api key, it’ll lead you to the DeepL website. You need to sign up, and get a free API key.

Tower of Babel in reverse.
More non-KYC translation options are coming to Damus.

#nostr is close enough to the moment when I will be able to post on my native language without gramma mistakes and you all will be able to read it on your side! Thanks for making this happen🫂

I keep auto translate off so I don’t quickly go over the DeepL free tier
Great!!

I’m working on that - hope to share something soon
Caching was recently implemented so it’ll help a bit with quota usage. Google ML Kit integration for offline translations in Damus will be coming which will give folks an alternative option without limitation. Also exploring some other options. Stay tuned.

Un petit bémol pour Google en fonction du territoire où l'on est situé notamment pour la traduction de la langue française qui est mieux traduite en France aux regards du droit de veille et exigences très complexes de l'Académie de la Langue Française autrement Google traduction est souvent source d'incomprehension pour ceux qui en usent lorsqu'ils sont en interaction avec des français sur le territoire . Sur améthyste par exemple il m'arrive de sursauter sur certaines traductions ou des mots qui sont intraductibles en fonction du jargon plus oral qu'écrit utilisé. C'est le même soucis avec Google maps auquel il ne faut trop se fier en termes d'orientation lorsque vous n'êtes pas véhiculé. J'ai plus tendance à conseiller aux gens de se fier aux supports papiers des villes , d'autant plus qu' ils sont très aidants sur le plan cognitif en termes d'orientation spatiale 🙏
Idéalement
