LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate

Free and Open Source Machine Translation API. Self-hosted, offline capable and easy to setup.

What it solves

LibreTranslate provides a free, open-source alternative to proprietary translation APIs like Google Translate or Azure. It allows users to perform machine translation while maintaining full control over their data by being entirely self-hosted.

How it works

The project acts as an API layer powered by the open-source Argos Translate library, which serves as the underlying translation engine.

Who it’s for

Developers and organizations that need machine translation capabilities without relying on third-party proprietary software or cloud-based translation services.
