Lingva Translate
What Nitter was to Twitter and Invidious is to YouTube, Lingva Translate is to Google
Translate: a privacy front-end delivering the service's full capability while cutting Google
out of the loop between you and your text. Built on Next.js with TypeScript and Chakra UI, it
uses the purpose-built Lingva Scraper to fetch translations from Google Translate without your
browser ever touching a Google-related service - no cookies, no tracking, no account, while
retaining what makes Google Translate hard to give up: 100+ languages with the translation
quality of Google's production models, unlike offline engines that trade privacy for accuracy.
The clean interface covers automatic source-language detection, text-to-speech audio playback
for pronunciations, definitions and examples, and light/dark themes. For developers, every
instance doubles as a translation API: a RESTful endpoint at /api/v1/:source/:target/:query
returns JSON translations, an audio endpoint serves TTS buffers, and a full GraphQL API at
/api/graphql exposes translations, audio, and language lists for richer integrations - all
unmetered on your own instance. Deployment is a single stateless container with one
environment variable for the site domain; defaults for theme and language pair are
configurable. GPL-licensed, and popular as the translation backend for privacy-respecting
apps.
