@amberage @shtrom no, it's actually powered by in-house developed machine learning. The translation is fully offline and local. The language packs are downloaded on the fly as a WASM-blob, thus allowing the code to be small while also allowing sanbdoxed extensibility on the fly. It's pretty cool tech IMHO, but you'll understand that I might be biased.

@amberage @freddy @shtrom none of those details disqualifies the feature from being deep learning, which it is. It's just not the particularly stupid and wasteful service-subscription variety that is currently gobbling up money/attention from credulous fools.

The Translations feature is powered by models trained on language pairs (i.e. language A<->B) and the more narrow domain is very effective. It does have some data availability problems, but it's been a success IMO.

@freddy @amberage @shtrom if it's downloaded on the fly then it's not offline.

@f4grx @freddy @amberage @shtrom Once it's downloaded, then it's offline. It doesn't download it over and over again, just the once (and maybe, while connected, if there are updates).
