Dear Translators,

Over the past months Sofía (in CC) has worked very hard to implement a 
new feature for our webpreview tool – Automatic translations! 
Additionally, Sofía also implemented the option to add Markdown text and 
convert it to xhtml.

# Automatic translation with webpreview
For this we are using libretranslate [1]. Everything is deployed and 
maintained by the FSFE’s system hackers. This adds some additional work 
for them. Otherwise, we would have relied on other instances and sent 
our data over to them which raised some data processing and protection 
questions. Therefore this is the set-up we choose for deploying our own 
libretranslate instance.

For translating with libretranslate: Please, be aware that the 
translations are far from perfect! They are just an option for you to 
make the process of translating easier and more convenient. However, 
they need to be proofread.

# Markdown to xhtml
This feature should be mainly relevant for staffers and other people who 
prepare new text or work with docs.fsfe.org (which uses Markdown).
You have a editor with the most common settings to add and create Markdown.

We look forward to your feedback on the new set-up.

Thank you all for your support and help with translating for software 
freedom!

Best regards,
Sofía and Bonnie
