docker-compose.yml Add Dockerfile to build and run LibreTranslate as a Docker image. Also added a docker-compose.yml file to provide a reproducible way to run the Docker image. And finally added how to build and run the Docker image to the README.md.

LibreTranslate

Try it online! | API Docs

Free and Open Source Machine Translation API, entirely self-hosted and works even in offline environments. Unlike other APIs, it doesn't rely on proprietary providers such as Google or Azure to perform translations.

API Examples

Request:

const res = await fetch("https://libretranslate.com/translate", {
	method: "POST",
	body: JSON.stringify({
		q: "Hello!",
		source: "en",
		target: "es"
	}),
	headers: {
		"Content-Type": "application/json"
	});

console.log(await res.json());

Response:

{
    "translatedText": "¡Hola!"
}

Build and Run

You can run your own API server in just a few lines of setup!

Make sure you have installed Python (3.8 or higher), then simply issue:

git clone https://github.com/uav4geo/LibreTranslate --recurse-submodules
cd LibreTranslate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py [args]

Then open a web browser to http://localhost:5000

Run with Docker

Make sure you cloned the models submodule before building the Docker image:

docker build -t libretranslate .

Run the built image:

docker run -it -p 5000:5000 libretranslate [args]

Or build and run using docker-compose:

docker-compose up -d --build

Feel free to change the docker-compose.yml file to adapt it to your deployment needs, or use an extra docker-compose.prod.yml file for your deployment configuration.

Arguments

--host Set host to bind the server to 127.0.0.1
--port Set port to bind the server to 5000
--char-limit Set character limit No limit
--req-limit Set maximum number of requests per minute per client No limit
--ga-id Enable Google Analytics on the API client page by providing an ID No tracking
