Argos Translate

Open-source offline translation library written in Python

Argos Translate uses OpenNMT for translations and can be used as either a Python library, command-line, or GUI application. Argos Translate supports installing language model packages which are zip archives with a ".argosmodel" extension containing the data needed for translation. LibreTranslate is an API and web-app built on top of Argos Translate.

Argos Translate also manages automatically pivoting through intermediate languages to translate between languages that don't have a direct translation between them installed. For example, if you have a es → en and en → fr translation installed you are able to translate from es → fr as if you had that translation installed. This allows for translating between a wide variety of languages at the cost of some loss of translation quality.

The argospm-index contains metadata and download links to access pre-trained Argos Translate models.

Examples

Python

```python import argostranslate.package import argostranslate.translate

fromcode = "en" tocode = "es"

Download and install Argos Translate package

argostranslate.package.updatepackageindex() availablepackages = argostranslate.package.getavailablepackages() packagetoinstall = next( filter( lambda x: x.fromcode == fromcode and x.tocode == tocode, availablepackages ) ) argostranslate.package.installfrompath(packagetoinstall.download())

Translate

translatedText = argostranslate.translate.translate("Hello World", fromcode, tocode) print(translatedText)

'¡Hola Mundo!'

```

Command Line Interface

``` argospm update argospm install translate-en_de argos-translate --from en --to de "Hello World!"

Hallo Welt!

```

Install all translation packages: argospm install translate

LibreTranslate Web App (Demo)

Web App Screenshot

LibreTranslate API

```javascript const res = await fetch("https://translate.argosopentech.com/translate", { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify({ q: "Hello!", source: "en", target: "es" }), headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json"} });

console.log(await res.json());

{ "translatedText": "¡Hola!" } ```

Graphical user interface

The GUI code is in a separate repository.

Packages

GPU Acceleration

To enable GPU support, you need to set the ARGOS_DEVICE_TYPE env variable to cuda or auto.

$ ARGOS_DEVICE_TYPE=cuda argos-translate --from-lang en --to-lang es "Hello World" Hola Mundo

The above env variable passes the device type to CTranslate2.

HTML Translation

The translate-html library is built on top of Argos Translate and Beautiful Soup and parses and translates HTML. The LibreTranslate API also has support for translating HTML.

Files Translation

The argos-translate-files library is built on top of Argos Translate and parses and translates files. The LibreTranslate API also has support for translating files.

Uninstall

shell pip uninstall argostranslate

You may choose to also delete temporary and cached files:

shell rm -r ~/.local/cache/argos-translate rm -r ~/.local/share/argos-translate
