[Feature Request] Auto translate support

[poVoq]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

One of the really nice new features of Mastodon and Akkoma is the option to auto-translate posts from a simple button in the context menu of a post.

Describe the solution you'd like These link up to external APIs like Google Translate or deepl.com, but the nicest is actually to self-host LibreTranslate: https://libretranslate.com/

Additional context I have a running LT for my Akkoma instance and if you need extended API access for testing it, please let me know.

I like Photon having as little outside dependencies as possible, but I'll see what i can do in this aspect

I just tried the new feature in 1.30.1 with my LibreTranslate instance, but I get a Error: Input data should be a String in the browser console.

Also it is not entirely clear that you need to leave out the https:// in the settings.

Also, but unrelated, how can I set an default LT instance as an admin via ENV parameters?

[Xyphyn]

That means the translation failed

[poVoq]

Hmm, odd. Can you try with my LT instance? It should allow public access up to 5000 characters:

https://translate.f-hub.org

(And works with my Akkoma instance)

[Xyphyn]

Hmm I'll look into it

[Xyphyn]

i show an error message now
