 #noStrudel now supports translations thanks to whoever built the nostr:npub1cc79kn3phxc7c6mn45zynf4gtz0khkz59j4anew7dtj8fv50aqrqlth2hf DVM bot
Its a little slow at the moment but I'm sure things are going to get a faster.

I cant express how bullish I am on DVMs. I didn't have to integrate with multiple APIs or ask the user for whether they want to use Google translate or LibreTranslate instead its all through nostr.
The way it works is a users creates a "Translation request" event kind:5002 then there are some bots that are watching for the requests and they respond with an offer kind:7000 with an asking price.
Then the user can pick an offer by paying the invoice. wait a few seconds and the bot will post a "Translation result" event kind:6002 with the translated text

And I haven't even got to the best part. You dont always have to pay for a translation. since nostr is public you can see translation requests made by other users 😀
