Most of my "Translated by DeepL" results try the wrong source language and fail.
My Ice Cubes GitHub says, "If your text is translated via DeepL and you haven't manually forced that in the settings by pasting your API key this is the translation service your mastodon instance provides. We send a request to your instance by default and can't select the translation service in that case."
Whenever I check, the poster has configured the post language correctly, and DeepL ignores it and guesses wrong.
But Neuromatch knows the configured language... Could you send that to DeepL along with the request?
Maybe in the web app you could even let us manually correct the source language if the poster is using an alternate from what they configured?
I'll look into these! Please don't hesitate to send me a reminder sometime next week in case it slips my mind as I'm juggling some work deadlines this week :melting_face:
@manisha@LorenAmelang taking a look at this...
we don't have DeepL configured right now but we easily could and should, i have a meeting in just a bit but i'll see how far i get in doing so before then.
started a wiki page here, it looks like IceCube's translation request doesn't include the source language, even though DeepL's API allows one to.
