Translation information
Connections and optional message translation are being introduced gradually and may not yet be available for every account or installed app version.
Translation in ULMOX is powered by Google Translate.
- Translation is optional. Nothing is translated unless you ask for it, one message at a time.
- Translating a message happens on this device. The message and the translation are not sent anywhere to be translated.
- A language pack has to be downloaded before a language can be translated. ULMOX asks first, and downloads over Wi-Fi unless you choose otherwise.
- Google's translation component can still use the network by itself: to download language packs, to read its own remote configuration, and to report diagnostics and usage analytics about the component. Your message text is not part of that.
- Machine translation can be wrong, and it can be wrong while reading as though it were certain.
- Between two languages where neither is English, the translation may pass through English on the way, and the result can be noticeably weaker.
- The original message is the one that counts. It stays on screen, and it is the only thing a report ever refers to.
- Translating a message changes nothing about reporting, blocking, moderation or account decisions. A report always carries the original message, and a person reviews that original — never the translation.
- ULMOX does not keep the translation. It is not saved as a separate message on our servers, and it is not attached to a report, a notification, moderation evidence or analytics.
- You can see and delete downloaded language packs in Translation models, in the app. Removing ULMOX removes them too, in the ordinary way your operating system removes an app's files.
