Hello, first, let me introduce myself. I am the maintainer of the Simple Web project, and I go by the name "metalune". We have a project called SimplyTranslate that allows users to access google and libretranslate translations without having to go on either site, HTTP: https://translate.metalune.xyz and now we have a gemini interface too! I host an instance of it on gemini://translate.metalune.xyz I thought this might interest y'all. If you encounter bugs please either file a ticket on Sourcehut (https://todo.sr.ht/~metalune/SimplyTranslate) or message us on our IRC channel: #simple-web on freenode Have a nice day everyone

Many thanks for this, muchas gracias and multumesc foarte mult, even. I wonder if it could be possible/desirable/too cheeky to ask to have something to translate entier gemini documents.

What the hell happened here?
I assume your client doesn't do HTML, they (and I think I? email clients seem to force it now) sent an email with HTML formatting.

My client *could* support HTML, but I chose not to enable it because.. why would I. I'm using aerc (https://aerc-mail.org) and I was just really confused when I saw that, hence why I asked. I think you can turn off HTML in most browsers now.

When you're composing an e-mail, just click on the "three dots" menu (lower right, next to the trash can) and select "plain text mode". -- Jeremy Jer at JMAJeremy.com (gemini|gopher|https)://jmajeremy.com

I'm with you, Katarina. WYSIWYG word processors are a plague upon mankind, and that's before one even thinks about its ability to carry maleware.
