Currently metalhead.club is using the DeepL Free API for post translation, which means we can translate up to 500,000 characters per month.
Usually the "payment" period ends on 7th of each month but most of the time we run out of free characters shortly before the "reset" and the translation service is not available for a few days each month.
We could upgrade to 1,000,000 characters per month, which you'd probably suffice. But that's an additional € 25 on our invoices. What do you think?
@thomas nice to have for me, but I do speak the two most common languages on this instance. I understand that it's a helping feature for many, but you know, deepl is just a click away.
@thomas I like to use it for languages other than English (and German, obviously) for convenience.
I wouldn’t bother to copy&paste a conversation in Swedish into a translator, but it’s nice to be able to read it directly on Mastodon.
@thomas Das brauchen wir nicht. Selten hast du mal Texte, die mehr als 500 Zeichen haben. Oft kann man auch nicht übersetzen. Da mache ich dann copy und past. Auch schreiben hier viele englisch und die meisten können die Sprache.
@thomas I use it, but I'm mindful that others need to use it too so I don't translate everything.
I use it if I've no idea what's in the toot, which still happens with my German.
I like the free version then a few days of imagination, it helps me concentrate on my German learning. And I like the tiny touch of random I might reply and my answer might be totally weird, coz that's just in brand for me 🤣
@thomas it's nice to have. The app I use most for Mastodon doesn't even have the translate button, but Google translate is just 2 clicks away instead of 1.
