Description

I was showing Haketilo to someone in #fsf, and they requested that I add the script at https://nimi.pona.la/ to the repository. The script served by that page exactly matches a script (https://github.com/pona-la/nimi/blob/main/nimi.js) in a GitHub repository licensed under MPL-2.0. The script translates text in a privacy-preserving manner, by getting a big json file with the translations and then using that, instead of making requests to a server as text is typed. I have not read the code extremely carefully though.

Can this script be added to the repository? Long-term, this is probably something that would be better as a "meta-site", since there's not really any communication going on while the app is running.

Hi and sorry for the delay. I'll add it. Nick, can you approve this script as safe?

Except for those images showing frequency being downloaded lazily... But personally, I don't consider this a real issue.

True. And even now we could include those JSONs in Haketilo package. But let's not, for the sake of simplicity

I read over the script twice and the text translation files. Looks safe to me.

Added the script to main Hydrilla repo (sorry for the 6-day delay - I confess to being a bit lazy)
