I'm one of the LibreTranslate devs. Here's some information about LibreTranslate:

LibreTranslate is a Free and Open Source Machine Translation API, entirely self-hosted. Unlike other APIs, it doesn't rely on proprietary providers such as Google or Azure to perform translations. Instead, its translation engine is powered by the open source Argos Translate library.

Demo: https://libretranslate.com

Docs: https://libretranslate.com/docs

Love seeing something like this! I'd really want to run something like this locally but sadly, many of the single word translations I've tried ended up being wrong or even just gibberish. Looking at the issues page, it looks like multiple languages are affected by this.

I found this last week, searching.

It's not clear to me what exactly that means.

Can I use this offline, or does this send requests to some remote service?

The link to /docs/ is just a swagger ui.

Edit: now I remember, I saw it was Python then searched for Python to Go conversion by AI and that's where I abandoned the idea.

I wanted to have translations for my social networking software poc, that I'm using Go for to write.

Argos is offline translation but the quality is pretty awful in my experience (maybe some language pairs are better, idk)

Thanks for all the work you do! I use libretranslate often and it's irreplacable for me.
