hi everybody my name is ken fallon you're listening to another episode of hacker public
|
||
|
|
radio today a little episode because i'm posting a show to fill a free slot otherwise you would
|
||
|
|
have three a hookah shows one after the other so as some of you might be aware i live in the
|
||
|
|
netherlands and here they speak dutch as well as english but occasionally i come across dutch
|
||
|
|
articles that i want to translate or i don't know a word or something so rather than using
|
||
|
|
online tools i've never felt super comfortable with that i have some translation tools that i use
|
||
|
|
on my phone and on my desktop so on my desktop i use a tool called local translate which is from their
|
||
|
|
description on flat hub it is local translate is an offline translation application that uses
|
||
|
|
firefox's neural transmission models from mozilla firefox transition models project
|
||
|
|
to perform high quality translations locally on your device it's not affiliated in mozilla in any way
|
||
|
|
it says when you open it you get a very very simple window doesn't have anything really anything in it
|
||
|
|
you select the language that you want to translate from and it gives in the text up there enter the
|
||
|
|
text to translate so you there's even a paste button in there so you can just press paste and then
|
||
|
|
translate and then underneath the language that you selected appears and we've got bulgarian bosnian
|
||
|
|
dutch estonian greek hindi japanese loads of languages and the translation appears there and then at the bottom
|
||
|
|
once it's translated you can press the copy button and it's genuinely that simple um it's all local if
|
||
|
|
you want to switch from one to the other so now i have a piece of text i'm maybe replying to an email
|
||
|
|
and i just want to get the wording right so i'll write it in english and then try and press the up down
|
||
|
|
button or swap button which will just swap nothing in it that gets in your way it's just simple it works
|
||
|
|
it's fantastic little app then i was thinking on my phone i have the need to have something similar
|
||
|
|
and i wanted to see was there anything available on the fdroid app store for my android phone
|
||
|
|
and there is and it is called offline translator or just translator in the fdroid store links to
|
||
|
|
everything here will be in the show notes um and the description says it is a translator app that
|
||
|
|
performs on-device translations of text and images without sending your data to external servers
|
||
|
|
it uses the same mozilla translation models it does translation of non-latin script it does optical
|
||
|
|
character recognition for translating text and images it does automatic image detection it does image
|
||
|
|
translation overlays that prefers preserves original formatting and it supports multiple language
|
||
|
|
pairs no internet is required for translations once the models are downloaded all translations happen
|
||
|
|
locally both of these applications are available the source code is available both of them are under the gpl
|
||
|
|
v3 license with the offline translator for android being version three or later that's it invaluable little tools
