Hello Harri. It's a nice idea, though I'm a little concerned about privacy. What I like about MBraille's dictation feature is that its off-line, but this translation system require your message to be shared with an AI. I'm not quite sure I like that. What do others think?

Hi,

I was thinking that one way to leverage AI would be to add auto-translation to mail command. So let's say I wanted to write an email in German, I could just add de: to front of the email address.  Example:  mail de:hans@mpaja.com and MBraille would take the mail body from text buffer, pass it through AI (Gemini) and past it to mail body in German. The MBraille buffer could be in any language, but the mail would be in German.

It would enable correspondence with people having no common language. What do you think?

Best regards, Harri PS. it could be done for sms,  whatsapp as well

Hi Harri, This is a wonderful idea, and I am happily looking forward to testing it. The question is, could this be extended to Gmail as well? I think many people use it on the iPhone nowadays. Also, it could even work as an on-demand translator. For example, I could paste the Hungarian text written to you, issue a command to translate it into English, and the AI would translate it. After that, I could just send it wherever I want. Or, as you suggested, I could directly type the command for the auto-translating email, SMS, or WhatsApp message. Furthermore, this internal translator could even be used for language learning. If there is a written English lesson and I want to check the pronunciation, I could switch the speech to English using the 'voice en' command and have it read out the translated text immediately. The only question left is whether the original text in the buffer should be replaced by the translation, or if it should keep the original, or perhaps both. The idea is truly excellent and would make communication so much simpler. Since translation works both ways, even translating a user manual would not be an issue, and thanks to syncing with cloud storage, it would be accessible anywhere afterwards. By the way, I have also sent you an email from the address krisztian@alkosoft.hu, though I am not sure if you received it. Please let me know how you like these ideas, and thank you especially for sharing this with me. Looking forward to your further ideas!
