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.
