## Adding New Language Models
To add new languages you first need to train an Argos Translate model. See [this video](https://odysee.com/@argosopentech:7/training-an-Argos-Translate-model-tutorial-2022:2?r=DMnK7NqdPNHRCfwhmKY9LPow3PqVUUgw) for details.

The LibreTranslate Web UI is available in all the languages for which LibreTranslate can translate to. It can also (roughly) [translate itself!](https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate/blob/main/scripts/update_locales.py) Some languages might not appear in the UI since they haven't been reviewed by a human yet. You can enable all languages by turning on `--debug` mode.
To help improve or review the UI translations:

### Can I use LibreTranslate behind a reverse proxy, like Apache2 or Caddy?
Yes, here are config examples for Apache2 and Caddy that redirect a subdomain (with HTTPS certificate) to LibreTranslate running on a docker at localhost.
```
```bash
sudo docker run -ti --rm -p 127.0.0.1:5000:5000 libretranslate/libretranslate
```
You can remove `127.0.0.1` on the above command if you want to be able to access it from `domain.tld:5000`, in addition to `subdomain.domain.tld` (this can be helpful to determine if there is an issue with Apache2 or the docker container).
Add `--restart unless-stopped` if you want this docker to start on boot, unless manually stopped.
