libretranslate has been broken forever, we just need to remove it. the wine one is best, I also wrote one which we’re providing as a damus purple feature so that it “just works”

Got it, ty sir.
Folks are welcome to try mine for a free alternative (it’s libretranslate, but hosted on my infra) it works.
Wine uses DeepL which is much better, I’d also recommend it for important comms.
It’d be pretty cool to see this on Damus Purple. Does Apple still not provide an API for on device translation Will? 
You’re awesome for providing the translation server for free. Apple still does not expose a translation API, sadly. And Google’s local translation library is largely unmaintained and using a legacy stack that does not integrate with Damus (I’ve tried twice unsuccessfully).
You’re awesome for what you do.
I could never scale it to take care of everyone. I leave it up for anyone who needs something to test against, or who just needs something “good enough” and can’t spend the money, etc.
I’ve used Mazin and Katie’s service and can confirm it is excellent and they have done a lot to make it efficient. The way it was described to me it’s even better for the environment.
People like y’all are the heroes of Nostr. I just press buttons and rent server space to let people try awesome open source creations. ❤️❤️❤️
