Architecture​

LibreTranslate is an open-source, self-hosted machine translation API that provides language translation capabilities. The key architectural components of LibreTranslate include:

  • Microservice Design: LibreTranslate is designed as a microservice, with a modular architecture that allows for the integration of different translation models and language pairs.

  • Containerization: LibreTranslate can be deployed as a Docker container, making it easy to set up and manage in various environments.

  • Scalability: The microservice design and containerization of LibreTranslate allow for horizontal scaling to handle increased translation workloads.

  • Language Agnostic: LibreTranslate is designed to be language-agnostic, supporting a wide range of languages and allowing for the addition of new language models.

  • API-Driven: LibreTranslate provides a RESTful API that allows clients to request translations, detect languages, and manage the translation service

  • Translation Engine

  • Language Detection Service

  • API Gateway
