Re: "caracal is a Nostr client with a Gemini interface. Currentβ¦"
Oh, I just remembered one more thing. Under the "Feed" section, "Reply" is translated as "γΉγΏγγ" (Staff/Stuff). This is probably another major error that should be looked at.

Here is an example of Lagrange's auto-translation (sorry, these are images from my own Geminispace):
Auto-translation example:
gemini://knshow.srht.site/images/translation-auto.jpg
What I actually want to convey:
gemini://knshow.srht.site/images/translation-manual.jpg
The UI translations in the app aren't quite as broken as these examples, but the ones I pointed out earlier (like "Polls" and "Reply") carry completely different meanings from the original English. That's why I think they need to be fixed.

@knshow Thank you ! I will fix "Polls" and "Reply" in the next release. For reference, this is the URL of the yaml file which contains the japanese translations:
β https://gitlab.com/cipres/caracal/-/blob/master/locales/ja.yml
The problem is that if we change some of the (wrong) translations manually, then the next time i need to run the autotranslate script, it will overwrite everything we had fixed. A solution would be to consider that the Japanese translation file is maintained manually, and remove that language from the autotranslate script.
Wondering ... do you have a gitlab account, by any chance ?
Also, i created a Matrix room for caracal.

@cipres I'm looking forward to the next release!
I checked the URLβit's impressive! It must be incredibly difficult to work on this without knowing Japanese, especially since we can input both Japanese and the alphabet without issues, but handling those characters from your side must be a challenge.
I'm not an engineer, just a regular user, so I've never used GitLab or Matrix before. But since you invited me, I'll try to sign up for them sometime soon! :)

caracal is a Nostr client with a Gemini interface. Current version is v0.2.6. I'm trying to make a lightweight client focused on readability. [https link] feed screenshot [https link] libertarian's feed screenshot [https link] caracal's git repository [https link] caracal's nsite
