Libre Translate is a free and open-source machine translation service that supports multiple languages. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Libre Translate on FreeBSD.
Before we begin, you will need:
To run Libre Translate on FreeBSD, you need to install some dependencies. First, update the package manager system using the following command:
pkg update
Next, install the required Python packages:
pkg install -y py39-pip py39-attrs py39-msgpack py39-setuptools py39-wheel
Libre Translate requires Redis to store translation results. Run the following command to install Redis:
pkg install -y redis
Once installed, enable Redis to start automatically every time the system boots by running:
sysrc redis_enable="YES"
Start the Redis service:
service redis start
To install the latest version of Libre Translate, run the following command:
pip3 install libretranslate
To start the Libre Translate service with Redis, run the following command:
libretranslate-server --redis-host=localhost --redis-port=6379
You can verify that Libre Translate is running by accessing the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost:5000
This should open the Libre Translate webpage that you can use to translate text.
Libre Translate is now installed on your FreeBSD system, and you can use it to translate text from various languages. You can run the Libre Translate service in the background as a daemon to keep it running after the terminal session ends.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
