Does this mean that the tool is ready to be used by other applications (e.g. mailman) to auto-translate? Have you had any previous experience with similar implementation as I described? > > One question — What do you mean about 3rd party services being > "untrustworthy"? We wish to auto-translate lists with private conversations, so we can not run those by systems where we don't know (don't have control of) what happens with the data. That's all, I didn't want to accuse anyone. thanks karel > > matt > > >> On Jan 16, 2017, at 12:27 PM, Karel Novotný <ka...@apc.org> wrote: >> >> Hello developers, >> >> I am new to this list, so missing a lot of background.
