Hi Mark. Babel is running at http://service.simile-widgets.org/babel .
On what page are you finding the text you quote?
I know where it's running, that wasn't my question (though the API is not
described anywhere, I figured it out by tracing the messages in my browser
so that I could access the public service from code)
The problem is that on this page:
http://www.simile-widgets.org/wiki/Data you say that I should "consider
running it [myself]" (quoted below). Unfortunately, there are no
instructions on how to do so. No installation instructions, and no API
description.
...makes it pretty difficult to follow your advice! ;-)

you don't need to actively transform the original, or maintaining the

There's definitely a missing hyperlink over the "consider running babel
yourself". I've searched for days, and there is no documentation
anywhere on how to do this. Downloading and compiling the code, sure,
I can do that. But there is no user-instructions for what to do with
it. The readme in the source code says "for more information go to..."
and provides to a hyperlink that doesn't work. No user-documentation
beyond the bare-bones readme in the source tree either. The /babel/
page can be reverse-engineered to figure out what all of the
form-fields are, and to discover the /translate/ endpoint... and that's
fine too, but that isn't exactly "running it yourself".
I'm trying to not overload your public resource, but you're making it
very difficult for me to be kind ;-) ;-)
Cheers all!
