Habr<p>Переводчик для Slack</p><p>Привет, Хабр! Компания Lingvanex занимается машинным переводом с 2016 года и за это время убедилась, насколько сложным может быть «простой перевод текста». Мы разработали собственный технологический стек: нейросетевые модели, системы распознавания речи, API для перевода, офлайн-решения и модули интеграции для корпоративных приложений. Сегодня хочу рассказать о продукте, который появился как ответ на реальную и острую потребность наших пользователей — переводчик внутри Slack. Он помогает командам мгновенно понимать друг друга, даже если они говорят на разных языках. Это история о том, как мы встроили качественный машинный перевод в мессенджер и сделали так, чтобы все «просто работало». Расскажу, почему мы создали переводчик для Slack, как он работает, в чём его преимущества и в каких сценариях он может стать незаменимым инструментом для вашей команды.</p><p><a href="https://habr.com/ru/articles/929528/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">habr.com/ru/articles/929528/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/slack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slack</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B6%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%8B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>мессенджеры</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%87%D0%B8%D0%BA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>переводчик</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/slack_bot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slack_bot</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/slack_%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%82" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>slack_бот</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/messengers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>messengers</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%83%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>продуктивность</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B0" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>командная_работа</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D1%8B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>распределенные_команды</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%B0" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>удаленка</span></a></p>

🅴🆁🆄🅰 🇷🇺<blockquote><strong>Open Letter to Meta: Support True Messaging Interoperability with XMPP</strong><br>The European Digital Markets Act (DMA) is designed to break down walled gardens and enforce messaging interoperability. As a designated gatekeeper, Meta—controlling WhatsApp and Messenger—must comply. However, its current proposal falls short, risking further entrenchment of its dominance rather than fostering genuine competition.<br>...<br><strong>Meta Has Already Used XMPP—Why Not Now?</strong><br>WhatsApp was built on an XMPP-based server, and Meta has previously supported XMPP in Facebook Messenger. The protocol is already battle-tested at scale. Furthermore, Meta is embracing federation for Threads with ActivityPub, proving that interoperability works when it serves Meta’s strategic interests.<br>If Threads can federate, so can WhatsApp and Messenger.</blockquote><br><span class="">#^</span><a class="" href="https://xmpp.org/announcements/open-letter-meta-dma/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://xmpp.org/announcements/open-letter-meta-dma/</a><br><br>Открытое письмо о том, чтобы начать федерироваться одному из ответвлений XMPP в лице WhatsApp с остальной частью близкого и родственного мира XMPP.<br><br>Закон DMA упоминается не как причина, повод или довод, а как то, что WhatsApp вряд ли захочет уходить с рынка ЕС с населением в полмиллиарда и потому вынужден создавать видимость деятельности, кормить обещаниями. Вроде объявления о планах к 2028-м году появления интерконнекта WhatsApp и Facebook Messenger с другими системами других мессенджеров в плане звонков.<br><br>Интрига в том, что чисто технически в XMPP-серверах давным давно существует понятие «транспорта», буквально изначально создано и задумано — это принцип шлюзов в другие системы Instant messaging (IM). Это многократно проверенный механизм, для создания шлюзов в самые разные протоколы и системы IM, причём проверенный на практике.<br><br>В 2010-х годах много пользователей регалось на xmpp-серверах (ну в jabber) именно для того, чтобы подключить несколько транспортов в разные IM-системы. И тем самым убрать необходимость держать запущенными одновременно три клиента разных IM-систем.<br><br>Именно этот механизм шлюзов — транспортов —&nbsp;и предлагается задействовать, включив обратно ту часть XMPP, которую WhatsApp сейчас на использует. Фактически аналогична или завязана на механизмы федерирования xmpp-серверов между собой. Первоначально задействуешь федерирование с другими серверами, а после этого у тебя начинают работать уже те самые шлюзы, транспорт, в другие IM.<br><br>#<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=WhatsApp" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">WhatsApp</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=XMPP" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">XMPP</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=messengers" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">messengers</a> @<a href="https://3zi.ru/@Russia" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Russia</a>
