  • Yep. Besides, in the case of Galician and Catalan (especially the former) they are endangered languages; there is nowhere where onmy Galician is the official languages, and bad policies are pushing it to the brink of extinction. Most Galician you hear today is heavily influenced by Spanish, so having spaces where the language is protected, in this context, online spaces, is critical to its salvation.



  • The reason I still use Reddit is that, as a polyglot, there is barely any content in most languages I speak in the Fediverse. It’s already difficult enough to find content in Galician or Catalan/Valencian on mainstream social media such as Reddit or Instagram. I did delete my Reddit account, stopped using the site for weeks but… I found no alternative? The closest was Mastodon, but I never really liked Twitter’s format which is basically what Mastodon is, so it is not for me. And, of course, there is absolutely NOTHING here on Lemmy in those languages. So, between feeding them with free data or not being able to use my languages at all (because I live in a place where none of them are spoken) I had to choose the lesser evil.
















  • Hi! Thank you for your comment.

    You are right in what you said; I should’ve phrased my question better. What I meant was that I didn’t want the ChatGPT-like generative AI kind of thing that tends to hallucinate included in my translation solution of choice. I had just visited the Reverso website prior to writing this post and it was all like AI this, and AI that, and, frankly, it’s gotten to the point where it is simply fatiguing to have those two letters shovelled up my throat permanently wherever I go.

    So, yeah, I of course wouldn’t mind my translator to keep using the kind of technology that makes translators function, but do despise the slop they are trying so hard for us to accept.

    I have downloaded, but have not tried yet, Dialect on my computer, and am still looking for a solution for my phone.

    Thanks again.
