Mozhi

Mozhi (spelt moḻi) is an alternative-frontend for many translation engines.

It was initially made as a maintained fork/rewrite of simplytranslate, but has grown to have a lot more features as well!

I'm initially focusing on the api and engines, but eventually Mozhi will have a functioning CLI and webapp.

Supported Engines:

Google
Reverso
DeepL
LibreTranslate
Yandex
IBM Watson
MyMemory
DuckDuckGo (almost 1-1 with Bing Translate)

Where is the engine code?

The engine code has recently been split from the main codebase. Please check aryak/libmozhi for it.

Installing

You can either use docker or the build artifacts from CI jobs on git.projectsegfau.lt.

Building

GOPRIVATE=codeberg.org/aryak/libmozhi # Get latest commit since proxy server is a bit slow
go mod download
go run github.com/swaggo/swag/cmd/swag@latest init --parseDependency
go build -o mozhi

API Docs

Mozhi makes use of swagger (using the fiber middleware) to manage the documentation of the API.

You can find it in /api/swagger of any instance (example).

Configuration

Features of Mozhi can be customized and toggled on/off using Environment Variables.

MOZHI_PORT: Port the webserver listens on (if hosting API)
MOZHI_LIBRETRANSLATE_URL: URL of Libretranslate instance (Example: MOZHI_LIBRETRANSLATE_URL=https://lt.psf.lt)

These envvars turn off/on engines. By default all of them are enabled.
