# LibreTranslate
[Try it online!](https://libretranslate.com) | [API Docs](https://libretranslate.com/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:
```javascript
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:
```javascript
{
"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:
```bash
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:
```bash
docker build -t libretranslate .
```
Run the built image:
```bash
docker run -it -p 5000:5000 libretranslate [args]
```
Or build and run using `docker-compose`:
```bash
docker-compose up -d --build
```
> Feel free to change the [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/uav4geo/LibreTranslate/blob/main/docker-compose.yml) file to adapt it to your deployment needs, or use an extra `docker-compose.prod.yml` file for your deployment configuration.
