Concerning our translation server using #LibreTranslate at https://translate.fedilab.app we are doing our best to keep it available for everyone (Fedilab but also small instances or personal projects).
Our position requires us to be more careful with abuses (especially bots).
That's why sometimes you can notice some downtimes, but we still work on appropriate actions with the goal that it remains a useful service for everyone and not only for Fedilab.
libretranslate
While #Fedilab embeds its own translation feature (default option uses our #LibreTranslate service), you can also use #Lingva or #DeepL if you have an API key.
But we have to add the ability to let you use your instance as an option to translate messages. That will be done.
