A simple and easy to use TypeScript library for LibreTranslate. Can also be used with JavaScript.
LibreTranslate is a free and open source translation application that also offers an API. This library connects to the API.
If you are looking for instructions on how to deploy your own LibreTranslate instance you can find them here.
npm i libretranslate-ts --saveIn this example, I connect to a LibreTranslate instance on localhost:5000.
When your instance is different, you need to change this.
app.mjs
import { libreTranslate } from "libretranslate-ts";
const LIBRETRANSLATE_ENDPOINT = "http://localhost:5000";
libreTranslate.setApiEndpoint(LIBRETRANSLATE_ENDPOINT);
libreTranslate.setApiKey("");
const resultDetect = await libreTranslate.detect("Hola, cómo estás?");
console.log("Detected language: ", resultDetect);
const result = await libreTranslate.translate(
"There is a tiger in the house nearby the barn.",
"en",
"es"
);
if (result?.status >= 400) {
console.log("Status: ", result?.status);
console.error("Error: ", result?.error);
process.exit(1);
}
console.log(result?.translatedText);Please file any issues and enhancement ideas under the "Issues" tab.
