It doesn't sound like much but, it's a long time in coming. I had no idea what I was aiming at, stretching my time, working through the night to complete what I can only describe as marvel or miracle. It's only after struggling for such a great length of time that we come to truly appreciate and strive for something to improve our daily experience. It all started when I finally decided to attempt to install Libretranslate on my local machine, no small feat given my shabbiest of internet connections.
Finally I got it downloaded, that didn't take too long using GitBash. Then, when I finally was able to determine how to start it running, it began automatically downloading all language models. All for the best, I thought. I need every ounce of translating ability this thing has. It was downloading, and I just went right ahead and slumbered through it, nothing lost there. To my surprise I ended up with only a modest 46 languages with which to work. Eliminating Esperanto, 45 only.
When I finally got it to work through some trial-and-error, that's when the task really started. How can I get this thing to translate my webpages top to bottom? And what's the best arrangement for that anyhow?
I broke the inputs: One for the title, another for a description, for HTML input, and for an image input. The image was to receive in language text via ImageMagick; The title and description were enough to double as RSS feed items. So, I broke the HTML header portion off from the top and keyed it all the way out, Open-Graph, Shema, everything to the nines. Did I say the title and description had a double use? I misspoke: Triple it. The other use is for ready made, matched postings for Mastodon: All in language with matched pages to link to. Ready-made, just like a dream.
Just for a little backstory: I have been posting on Mastodon.social for approximately one month with unique links. I made all of those translations through a semi-manual process which pales in comparison to what I have chalked up in the last 24 hours. Yes, I worked all through the night on this one. Not shy of quintuple shifts, and this isn't my first time on this project.
After that month of posts my backlink profile has exploded suddenly, the top link being one from schleswig-holstein.de; A german state website.
That's why it was worthy of this monumental effort; Streamline the process, play it all the way out with bells and whistles. Automata Maxima.
