argos-translate

Why we included this project

Argos Translate runs entirely on your own hardware, so you can translate without sending text to a cloud API. The engine is built on OpenNMT and ships as a Python library, a command-line tool, and a desktop GUI, so the same core works whether you're scripting a batch job, embedding translation into a larger application, or doing occasional one-off translations. Language support comes as separate .argosmodel packages, which keeps the base install small and makes adding or swapping languages a matter of dropping in a model rather than reinstalling the engine. The automatic pivoting covers languages without a direct model: with es→en and en→fr installed you can translate es→fr too, at the cost of some translation quality. LibreTranslate is built on top of this library, so if you have used that API you already have a sense of the quality to expect here.
