Multi-Source

Fediverse + Translations = Multi-Source

Multi-source is an open-source project for the readily combination of Computer Assisted Translation, Neural Machine Translation and the fediverse. It is based on the thesis "Group-based environment for multilingual translation sources" and can be seen as a technical foundation for eurotopics with more supported languages and the fediverse community.
We need an international platform without language barriers. Let's built global communications to solve global problems.

Computer Assisted Translation (CAT)

Weblate is a copylefted libre software web-based continuous localization system, used by over 2500 libre projects and companies in more than 165 countries. It is designed to build a translator community.

Neural Machine Translation (NMT)

Various open-source translation models are released for the established transformer. They are the state-of-the-art backbone of automatic translations, summaries and other tasks.

Fediversum

The fediverse is a collection of community-owned, ad-free, decentralised, and privacy-centric social networks. The fediverse instances can communicate with the decentralized social networking protocol called ActivityPub. The most popular example is the twitter alternative Mastodon.

Web framework

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and a clean, pragmatic design.

Features

Multi-source aims to provide a platform for users to easily translate content between different languages using the power of machine learning and the fediverse community. By combining the strengths of both, users can access a wider range of translation sources and collaborate with others to create more accurate and nuanced translations.

Communication is key

The project is built on the principle that communication is key to solving global problems, and that language barriers should not be a hindrance to this. With Multi-source, users can share information and ideas across language barriers, making it easier to build bridges between different cultures and communities.

The first prototyp is the proof-of-concept and has shown the potential to revolutionize the way we communicate online. By breaking down language barriers and bringing people together, Multi-source could help to create a more connected, enlighted and collaborative world.

Connect on a global level

Features that are important to connect on a global level include:

Integration with the fediverse community to access a wider range of sources.
Support for multiple languages. No language should left behind.
Integration with machine learning APIs for inital translations.
Ability to save and share translations with others.
Collaboration tools to allow users to work together on translations and share knowledge.
Accurate translations to ensure effective communication.
