Gajim - 2024-10-15

Howdy, I have to make a bug report. Since 1.9.5 on Windows I think, I have a problem that I can not write a message. The message box excepts no inputs. This is right after starting gajim. Quitting and restarting gajim a second time is fixing this. Of note, I have omemo enabled on my chats. Thanks for reading.

Hello, https://paste.gajim.org/ doesn't work.

Gajim (1.8.4) - previev of images doesn't work. nbxmpp.http Request(139660867768192): g-tls-error-quark: Unacceptable TLS certificate (2)

I use self-signed certificate.

bob: check the status indicatir

If it's blue gajim is still connecting to your server

When I copy image, I never see in Gajim that I can paste image by using mouse. I can do it by using keyboard, but often I use only mouse for writing. If I use accessibility keyboard, I can use Ctrl-V and insert image. But "Paste" in Gajim menu is not turned on, it should be, so that image can be pasted by mouse.

please open a issue

Is there a translation tool for Gajim that allows me to use Gajim and other English-language tools?

donnerwetter: you mean translation of chat messages?

> donnerwetter: you mean translation of chat messages? meson: That is correct. Example: I only use Gajim when I have a question. And then I translate manually with DeepL.

donnerwetter: it should not be hard to write a plugin for that

> it should not be hard to write a plugin for that meson: Unfortunately, I don't have the slightest idea about such things. Could you do that or do you know someone who could do it and whom you would approach?

asterix, lovetox: Or could one of you help here?

I could do that but I have other things on my list first.

donnerwetter, you could try a marketplace for freelancers like fivver to code this for you

meson: That would make me happy. Could you give me a time slot?

Difficult to say, I don't wanna make promises. :)

Not this month, maybe December

meson. thank you for your willingness to help.

No promises again, but if I have the free time I will look into it (also bc of own interest)

In my opinion this should not be any app-specific functionality. This should be a global app providing translation services for other apps. Some real-time translator

Like this one https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/blog/2018/05/02/windows10-2/

cal0pterix: right, I'm imagining a global app. I'll take a look at the link later.

As far as I translate the linked text correctly, I have to copy and paste the text to be translated. This is possible in exactly the same way at DeepL. I'm thinking of a tool like the one Firefox offers. Clicking on the corresponding icon translates the entire page.

it would be great if the OS would provide some API to locally translate stuff ✏

deepL gives you 500.000 characters for free per month

you can run libretranslate locally

and Firefox also includes a local translation model these days

ah, was already mentioned

donnerwetter, you could probably make a gajim plugin for that

> it would be great if the OS would provide some API to locally translate stuff lovetox: I am a layman, so I would like to ask you what this means in concrete terms - example? > deepL gives you 500.000 characters for free per month lovetox: I don't see any connection to my concern here. It's about a one-click translation and not about copying and pasting. Kris: I have already commented on your suggestions in the course of this discussion - thank you.

>> it would be great if the OS would provide some API to locally translate stuff donnerwetter: it means that the Operating System would implement translation locally and allow apps to use it.
