TODO

AI-powered auto-translation of non-Swedish/English messages

Config file: ~/.hircrc

# AI translation settings
ai_type=ollama          # ollama, vllm, or openai
ai_host=localhost
ai_port=11434
ai_key=                 # API key (required for openai)
ai_model=llama3
ai_target_lang=english  # translate into this language
ai_skip_langs=swedish,english  # don't translate these

Implementation plan

  • Parse ~/.hircrc on startup
  • Detect messages that aren't in skip_langs (heuristic: non-Latin chars, or let the LLM decide)
  • Show original message immediately
  • Fork a child process that calls the AI API (OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint — works for ollama, vllm, and openai)
  • Prompt: "Translate to {target_lang}. Reply with only the translation: {text}"
  • When child returns, insert translated line in italic below original in the scrollback
  • Only visible locally, not sent to channel
  • 1-5 sec delay is acceptable
