There is no matter a motivation of products that play against its users. For the business important only the fact the companies is not reliable.

I hope you’re right. The more people will save it, the more chances we have to find the source code later, or even find the community who will maintain the fork.

Haha, actually it’s my bad, not a Linguist 😀

I’m not a native speaker, i still learn the language, but you can edit a post text on a github https://github.com/vitonsky/blog/blob/master/posts/2023/july/linguist/2023-07-13-linguist.md i would appreciate it

Yes, the links you needs:

• Linguist docs about custom translators https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist/blob/master/docs/CustomTranslator.md
• Code of custom translator for a LibreTranslate https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist-translators/blob/master/translators/LingvaTranslator.js
• Guide to deploy a LibreTranslate on local machine https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate#install-and-run (or to use with docker: https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate#can-i-use-libretranslate-behind-a-reverse-proxy-like-apache2-or-caddy)

A LibreTranslate may download a gigabytes data once, to get AI models for all language directions, then translation will runs on your computer

You can make a language request in a issues of repository https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations-models/

You’re right, resources are limited and a new languages appears not so fast as we wants. Maybe Chinese developers will collaborate and release their own models for a Bergamot. Work with community are important to achieve the goal when we want to unify translation.

If you really needs to be private for now, you can try to deploy your own offline translation server locally (e.g. with a https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate) and use this translator with Linguist as a custom translator.

Thank you! Share it with your friends if you like it. The people who improve their productivity so much to share it with their friends are motivates me a lot!

If you don’t try, you won’t know 😉
