<b​asses:matrix.org> Hello

<b​asses:matrix.org> is the Monero Translations chat server is held hostage by Erc? or still managed by monero team?

<b​asses:matrix.org> cuz the git repo is archived github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-translations

Still managed by 'monero team' but progress is slow

<b​asses:matrix.org> when the progress will be fast?

<b​asses:matrix.org> cuz a year sounds like usual

At this point i can only ask a volunteer if he has time (as the person before me has done)

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Do better plowsof, we pay you! 😂

<b​asses:matrix.org> that volunteer will have to sysadmin too?

<b​asses:matrix.org> weblate server had issues

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> my understanding is that there where hardware issues with the previous server that weblate was hosted on. the general fund has provided a better server now and we're waiting on the sysadmin/fixy/magic thing to be done

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> we can't wait forever so if it's not resolved actually soon then we need to figure out the steps of hiring someone to do it for us

<b​asses:matrix.org> good 🫠

<c​hch3003:monero.social> CCS is rich, it's ok to spend somtimes

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Imo it is a time where we need to spend this fund and stimulate developments

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Not a time for sleeping and being lazy

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> its not so much about funds its more so about what level of "security clearence" / trust is required... e.g. is the weblate server isolated from everything else? or is it on the same box? some questions we would need answering

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Yeah, if it was me I would choose an easy hosted service with proper Role-based access control

<c​hch3003:monero.social> It's not critical

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Easier to use

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Also with AI this work can be much less manual. We need reviewers more than translators

<c​hch3003:monero.social> I would be interested to be part of the new translation team btw

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> ok ive offered to figure it out rottenwheel , wish me luck

<s​iren:kernal.eu> Might as well get rid of weblate and have a no bullshit system (aka pull requests) for translations.

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> but im waiting for my weblate/basic admin onboarding session

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> ah yes, its sad when people make direct translation PR's and are pointed to weblate

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> has the turkish translations improved since your most recent push if i may ask? jut wondering

<s​iren:kernal.eu> No, nothing ever changed. They never incorporated the weblate translations.

<s​iren:kernal.eu> We don't live in 90s, just use chatgpt or gtranslate if you're worried about trolling

<s​iren:kernal.eu> Accept PRs because it is just ridiculous

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> ideally yes, everything should be AI'd out of the gate for a bare minimum - which is then improved upon

<s​iren:kernal.eu> No like double check PRs with online translators if you don't trust the person

<c​hch3003:monero.social> I also translated quite a lot of French that never got merged, because I think nobody peer reviewed it

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> online translate to prove nothing sus and then merge

<s​iren:kernal.eu> Yes no need for brain gymnastics

<s​iren:kernal.eu> This ^^^

<c​hch3003:monero.social> ChatGPT and PRs is probably enough

<b​asses:matrix.org> Astro starlight devs run translations through google translate and check if they make sense and relevant. This is their way of reviewing

<b​asses:matrix.org> Weblate is really handy

<c​hch3003:monero.social> And this bitch of AI is even translating better than humans :/

<b​asses:matrix.org> nope

<c​hch3003:monero.social> At least better than me then

<b​asses:matrix.org> Ai and online translators sucks

<b​asses:matrix.org> I can tell from the translation if it was generated by some machine or by person

<c​hch3003:monero.social> I translate .po files in Django project with Github Copilot, I just review the result. The sentences are better than what I could come up

<b​asses:matrix.org> I have my tools

<b​asses:matrix.org> this includes online translators and improving on it

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Copilot is smart enough to understand the whole context, remember your chosen technical terms...

<b​asses:matrix.org> I have been impressed by a lot of websites on Tor that works with no JS

<b​asses:matrix.org> many talented individuals

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Like which ones?

<b​asses:matrix.org> Pitch

<b​asses:matrix.org> twitter clone

<c​hch3003:monero.social> No JS Twitter clone?

<b​asses:matrix.org> I just use Tor browser to check how websites fucntion

<b​asses:matrix.org> yep

<b​asses:matrix.org> I just use Tor browser to check how websites function

<b​asses:matrix.org> it is a hidden service website

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Doesn't mean it has no client-side js tho

<b​asses:matrix.org> hmm

<b​asses:matrix.org> It works great with Tor on maximum security settings

<b​asses:matrix.org> It works great with Tor browser on maximum security settings

<b​asses:matrix.org> also how bad is the IRC spam when I edit in matrix?

<b​asses:matrix.org> I didn't realize I edited twice

<c​hch3003:monero.social> If it's like Firefox, you enter `about:config` in url, type javascript.enabled, toggle to false

<c​hch3003:monero.social> I don't see any spam

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Except our useless conversation

<c​hch3003:monero.social> :)

<c​hch3003:monero.social> A chat room is to talk right?

<b​asses:matrix.org> yes

<b​asses:matrix.org> playing with config isn't something you want to do

<b​asses:matrix.org> on Tor browser

<c​hch3003:monero.social> I agree, but if you want to do a quick check, this is the best way to disable js completely

<c​hch3003:monero.social> I actually don't know if max security means that JS is disabled completely

<b​asses:matrix.org> hmm

<b​asses:matrix.org> tb-manual.torproject.org/security-settings

<b​asses:matrix.org> Safest

<b​asses:matrix.org> This level only allows website features required for static sites and basic services. These changes affect images, media, and scripts.

<b​asses:matrix.org> Javascript is disabled by default on all sites; some fonts, icons, math symbols, and images are disabled; audio and video (HTML5 media) are click-to-play.

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Yep need safest on https websites

<b​asses:matrix.org> image.png

<c​hch3003:monero.social> Yes makes sense

when you edit even one letter of a matrix post irc sees the entire post again

it looks particularly spammy when it's a long post

editing this "I just use Tor browser to check how websites fucntion" is not necessary as my brain doesn't notice and auto corrects

we won't think that you can't spell :)

editing "It works great with Tor on maximum security settings" to "It works great with Tor browser on maximum security settings" is meaningful

but whatever, appreciate the input and work

<b​asses:matrix.org> lol, that's very bad

<b​asses:matrix.org> idk why it is like that on IRC

<b​asses:matrix.org> other bridges for diff platforms work fine

Libera stopped their support for bridges so someone made this one with its limitations

<b​asses:matrix.org> ah
