Hi,

To follow on the idea of 2-level type theory. It indeed seems enough to have a strict equality (meaning with UIP and Funext) to pull off an interpretation of weakTT.
In fact, I have updated an formalised the work of Nicolas Oury of translating Extensional Type Theory into Intensional Type Theory, and extended the proof so that it can be an instance of a translation from an extensional 2-level type theory into an intensional one. In this work, the treatment of conversion in the target seems to be orthogonal to the result itself. With Simon Boulier we plan to tweak the formalisation a bit so that it allows to target weakTT (and we already conducted informal reasoning to justify it). You can thus give an interpretation to a theory into its weak version, provided you have UIP, funext and enough equalities to interpret for instance β-reduction.

I hope this is clear.

Even LF included beta eta hence has a non-trivial judgemental equality. Not to mention the equations for substitution.

    So with a modicum of judgemental equality one uses dependent types for
