Dear Discourse Group, First, to the authors of this project, my profound thanks and respect. Being a programmer myself I can appreicate the many hours that have gone into creating this project. Over the last few days, I have installed discourse at: https://discourse.newcity.mx/ and also added the translate plugin. Here is the relevant part of my app.yml file. hooks: after_code: - exec: cd: $home/plugins cmd: - git clone GitHub - discourse/docker_manager: Plugin for use with discourse docker image · GitHub - git clone GitHub - LibreTranslate/discourse-translator: Discourse translator with LibreTranslate support. · GitHub First, the default locale of my discourse instance is set to English at https://discourse.newcity.mx/admin/site_settings/category/required When I access the plugin/LibreTranslate tab of my admin screen, I check: Allow inline translation of posts. and set translater to LibreTranslate I am not sure what (if anything) I should put in the LibreTranslate API Endpoint field. The plugin tab says that discourse-translator is enabled, the version is 0.4.0, there is a green checkmark, and a Y under the enabled column. So far all good, no? However when I access a page, I don’t see any icon/option to do a translation. The leftmost icon at the bottom of the message is the “share a link to the post”. I did install libretranslate following the instructions at: GitHub - LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate: Free and Open Source Machine Translation API. Self-hosted, offline capable and easy to setup. · GitHub which you can verify by going to http://nadineloveshenry.com:5000/ I read: [image] Translate plugin installed, but no translate button Support I’ve: Installed the plugin. Ticked “Allow inline translation of posts”. Followed the steps to get a Microsoft key. Selected Microsoft as my translator and added the key. Created a topic in a foreign language. But I don’t see any translation (globe) button next to the link button as depicted in the plugin instructions. I’ve also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin. And this is the only plugin I’ve added now. Should I see that button no matter what? Should I test the Microsoft API… Where I discovered “The translate button will only show if we detect that the language of the post is different from the current locale which that user has selected.” So I removed English as firefox’s language and changed it to Espanol(MX), and connected to my site via a VPN through Spain just to make sure there was not trace of USA left. The request headers that were sent wre: GET /t/welcome-to-new-city-discourse/7 HTTP/1.1 Host: discourse.newcity.mx User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,/;q=0.8 Accept-Language: es-MX,es;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br But still no joy. Can anyone tell me what I am missing? On another, and perhaps related note, when I run: ./launcher enter app The response I get is: x86_64 arch detected. OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: open /dev/pts/1: operation not permitted: unknown Thanks in advance for your help. Best wishes, Henry Laxen

[image] Henry Laxen: I am not sure what (if anything) I should put in the LibreTranslate API Endpoint field my guess would be http://nadineloveshenry.com:5000/translate as it seems to work: [image]

Thanks Benjamin for the idea, but it doesn’t seen to work. I put http://nadineloveshenry.com:5000/translate in the LibreTranslate API Endpoint field, changed my firefox settings to German: GET /t/test-libretranslate/17 HTTP/1.1 Host: discourse.newcity.mx User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,/;q=0.8 Accept-Language: de But still no little world button appears. Are there any other ideas out there, or even a pointer as to how I can track this down. Does anyone have a working libretranslate discourse site working? Thanks again Benjamin.

ha, my bad, the endpoint should be: http://nadineloveshenry.com:5000 services/discourse_translator/libretranslate.rb c2067a251 def self.translate_uri SiteSetting.translator_libretranslate_endpoint + "/translate" end Still don’t know if and how it works though :sweat_smile:

Hi @henrylaxen. :wave: I don’t know how to fix your issue, but I wanted to point out were are potentially close to officially supporting LibreTranslate in our plugin, see LibreTranslate provider support by pierotofy · Pull Request #36 · discourse/discourse-translator · GitHub for what needs to be done. :slight_smile:

it seems there is something wrong here: services/discourse_translator/libretranslate.rb c2067a251 # frozen_string_literal: true require_relative 'base' require 'json' module DiscourseTranslator class LibreTranslate < Base MAXLENGTH = 5000 SUPPORTED_LANG = { en: 'en', en_US: 'en', en_GB: 'en', bs_BA: 'bs', cs: 'cs', da: 'da', de: 'de', ar: 'ar', es: 'es', fi: 'fi', Should be SUPPORTED_LANG_MAPPING I think (and thereafter) plugin.rb d650f8222 def can_translate return false if !SiteSetting.translator_enabled detected_lang = post_custom_fields[::DiscourseTranslator::DETECTED_LANG_CUSTOM_FIELD] if !detected_lang Jobs.enqueue(:detect_translation, post_id: object.id) false else detected_lang != "DiscourseTranslator::#{SiteSetting.translator}::SUPPORTED_LANG_MAPPING".constantize[I18n.locale] end end end DiscourseTranslator::Engine.routes.draw do post "translate" => "translator#translate" end Discourse::Application.routes.append do

it also seems that the POST method is not allowed for the /languages url called here: services/discourse_translator/libretranslate.rb c2067a251 if !res.empty? post.custom_fields[DiscourseTranslator::DETECTED_LANG_CUSTOM_FIELD] ||= res[0]["language"] else post.custom_fields[DiscourseTranslator::DETECTED_LANG_CUSTOM_FIELD] ||= "en" end end def self.translate_supported?(source, target) lang = SUPPORTED_LANG[target] res = result(support_uri, {}) res.any? { |obj| obj["code"] == source } && res.any? { |obj| obj["code"] == lang } end def self.translate(post) detected_lang = detect(post) raise I18n.t('translator.failed') unless translate_supported?(detected_lang, I18n.locale) translated_text = from_custom_fields(post) do res = result(translate_uri, it needs GET

Dear Benjamin, Maiki & co, Wow. Thanks so much for digging into this. Benjamin, I tried changing the endpoint to http://nadineloveshenry.com:5000 but it had no effect. After reading the discussion for pull request 36, it sounds like it will be merged imminently, so I would rather wait a few days than try to use your branch at GitHub - LibreTranslate/discourse-translator: Discourse translator with LibreTranslate support. · GitHub, which I am not sure how to do. Please let me know if I can help you guys in any way. I just noticed a new version is available, 2.9.0.beta5. I upgraded to it, and Now when I have translation enabled, by checking the box labelled Allow inline translation of posts. at the https://discourse.newcity.mx/admin/site_settings/category/plugins?filter=plugin%3Adiscourse-translator page, when I go to https://discourse.newcity.mx/t/test-libretranslate/17/2 or in fact any page, I get an internal server error.

[image] Henry Laxen: After reading the discussion for pull request 36, it sounds like it will be merged imminently, so I would rather wait a few days I would not intepret that discussion to form that timeline; my reply was more to get more eyes to move along that issue, I’m not sure it LibreTranslate will be merged that quickly. :slight_smile:

Hi Henry, yes the internal server error comes from the SUPPORTED_LANG_MAPPING problem, I’ve just mentioned it to author of the PR.

Dear Maiki, I see. If I were to switch to your branch, do I just clone your repository, fix up app.yml, and rebuild, or is there more to it. I live in Tijuana, so running a discourse instance without English and Spanish is a game stopper for me. Thanks for the responses.
