I managed to steal some emoji, but I had to figure out the specifics the hard way. This should make it easier for future criminals.
Feel free to close if this documentation was omitted on purpose, I can imagine some reasons for why it might have.

Since Akkoma doesn't include precompiled frontends in the main repo anymore, it doesn't make sense to keep treating the few js/css files remaining as binary files.
Argos Translate is a Python module for translation and can be used as a command line tool.
This is also the engine for LibreTranslate, for which we already have a module.
Here we can use the engine directly from our server without doing requests to a third party or having to install our own LibreTranslate webservice (obviously you do have to install Argos Translate).
One thing that's currently still missing from Argos Translate is auto-detection of languages (see <https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate/issues/9>). For now, when no source language is provided, we just return the text unchanged, supposedly translated from the target language. That way you get a near immediate response in pleroma-fe when clicking Translate, after which you can select the source language from a dropdown.
Argos Translate also doesn't seem to handle html very well. Therefore we give admins the option to strip the html before translating. I made this an option because I'm unsure if/how this will change in the future.
