Continuing the discussion from Discourse Translator: LibreTranslate - Github project page Project discussion at https://community.libretranslate.com/ Free and Open Source Machine Translation API. 100% self-hosted, offline capable and easy to setup. Powered by the open source Argos Translate API Docs Discourse Installation copy-pasted from the Github readme You can use this discourse translator plugin to translate Discourse topics. To install it simply modify /var/discourse/containers/app.yml : ## Plugins go here ## see https://meta.discourse.org/t/19157 for details hooks: after_code: - exec: cd: $home/plugins cmd: - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git - git clone https://github.com/LibreTranslate/discourse-translator ... Then issue ./launcher rebuild app . From the Discourse’s admin panel then select “LibreTranslate” as a translation provider and set the relevant endpoint configurations.

I’m not the author, but just discovered this amazing plugin. Afaik no one has mentioned it on the forum. This will need to be turned into a plugin topic and hopefully we can get the dev on this chat… unless I’m totally missing where this plugin is already listed in meta.*

I tried to set this up but in the final step (getting a translation) I fail with the following error message: An error occurred: # " \n \n 405 Method Not Allowed \n Method Not Allowed \n The method is not allowed for the requested URL. \n", :cookies=>[], :host=>"172.17.0.1", :headers=>{"Access-Control-Allow-Credentials"=>"true", "Access-Control-Allow-Headers"=>"Authorization, Content-Type", "Access-Control-Allow-Methods"=>"GET, POST", "Access-Control-Allow-Origin"=>"*", "Access-Control-Expose-Headers"=>"Authorization", "Access-Control-Max-Age"=>"1728000", "Allow"=>"HEAD, GET, OPTIONS", "Content-Length"=>"153", "Content-Type"=>"text/html; charset=utf-8", "Date"=>"Sat, 17 Dec 2022 11:18:27 GMT", "Server"=>"waitress"}, :path=>"//languages", :port=>5000, :status=>405, :status_line=>"HTTP/1.1 405 METHOD NOT ALLOWED\r\n", :reason_phrase=>"METHOD NOT ALLOWED", :remote_ip=>"172.17.0.1", :local_port=>50848, :local_address=>"172.17.0.3"}, @body=" \n \n 405 Method Not Allowed \n Method Not Allowed \n The method is not allowed for the requested URL. \n", @headers={"Access-Control-Allow-Credentials"=>"true", "Access-Control-Allow-Headers"=>"Authorization, Content-Type", "Access-Control-Allow-Methods"=>"GET, POST", "Access-Control-Allow-Origin"=>"*", "Access-Control-Expose-Headers"=>"Authorization", "Access-Control-Max-Age"=>"1728000", "Allow"=>"HEAD, GET, OPTIONS", "Content-Length"=>"153", "Content-Type"=>"text/html; charset=utf-8", "Date"=>"Sat, 17 Dec 2022 11:18:27 GMT", "Server"=>"waitress"}, @status=405, @remote_ip="172.17.0.1", @local_port=50848, @local_address="172.17.0.3"> I set up a docker container with docker run -d --restart unless-stopped -ti -p 5000:5000 --name="libretranslate" libretranslate/libretranslate which seemed to be fine for me according to the docs and set up translator libretranslate endpoint to http://172.17.0.1:5000 (the IP is the docker host IP). According to the error message Discourse can also connect to LibreTranslate but something is not working. Any ideas?

It’s solved :slight_smile: : Problem with LibreTranslate as Docker for Discourse - #3 by pierotofy - LibreTranslate API - LibreTranslate Community You need to update to the latest Github version of the Discourse plugin.

@Roi could you please help clarify how this is setup. I’m confused. I found my docker container ip using sudo docker inspect libretranslate From your linked post, is the API endpoint treated as: http://dockerip:5000 with no API key needed? I’m running libretranslate in a container alongside Discourse. Thanks!

@Roi Thanks, seems this is your run command: docker run -d --restart unless-stopped -ti -p 5000:5000 --name="libretranslate" libretranslate/libretranslate

Somehow yes: docker run -d --restart unless-stopped -ti -p 5000:5000 -e LT_LOAD_ONLY="en,de,fr,it,es,pt,nl,da,sv,pl,cs,ru" --name="libretranslate" libretranslate/libretranslate

@sunjam yes I use:

http://172.17.0.1:5000/

Where 172.17.0.1 is the IP if the Libretranslate Docker container.

And I do not use an API key.
