TRANSLATION with DeepL API and LibreTranslate

LibreTranslate is a free and open-source API.

Libre_US

LibreTranslate can be installed on a local or internal server. It is a free and easy-to-implement solution:

•Linux server:
GitHubhttps://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate

•External server:
LibreTranslate.com also offers a paid hosting service.

LibreTranslate can also be installed in a Docker, Windows or Linux solution:

▪Linux server:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

▪Windows:

Powershell:

Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force

Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Force

Restart-Computer -Force

Start-BitsTransfer -Source "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-windows-x86_64.exe" -Destination "$Env:ProgramFiles\Docker\docker-compose.exe"

▪Commercial : www.docker.com -> create an account, download, and install Docker Desktop

▪Create a docker-compose.yml file in a dedicated folder:

services:

libretranslate:

image: libretranslate/libretranslate:latest

container_name: libre_translate

ports:

- "5000:5000"

environment:

### Languages

- LT_LOAD_ONLY=fr,en,nl,pt,de,es,it

### API Key

# - LT_API_KEYS=true # API Key?

### LIMITATIONS :

#- LT_REQS_LIMIT=30 # Max 30 requests / mn / user

#- LT_CHARACTER_LIMIT=5000 # 5000 chars Max / request

### Keys DB Path

# command: ["--api-keys", "--api-keys-db-path", "/home/libretranslate/.local/api_keys.db"]

volumes:

- lt-local:/home/libretranslate/.local

volumes:

lt-local:

•Creating the Docker container with a command:

docker-compose up -d

Docker is then created and the service starts listening on port 5000 on localhost (this can be changed in docker-compose.yml).

Any modification to docker-compose.yml followed by a "docker-compose up -d" command updates the container.

Arrêt du service : docker-compose stop

To use LibreTranslate with vpxPrint, simply create a configuration file named "LibreTranslate.txt" in the path:

(delete DeepL.txt)

url=http://localhost:5000

api=xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx

... indicating the address of the LibreTranslate server and its API key; url and api are optional.

Default values:

url=http://localhost:5000 (local server, port 5000)

api= (no API key)
