Our community does not wish to use AI, and we turned it off in our Discourse instance.

For translations we added LibreTranslate (LT) in a docker container, and it works well enough.

My question is:  
Given the recent advances in adding AI Translations into the Discourse core, can we take advantage of this wiring to connect LT in this way? We would very much to benefit from the integration without adding AI.

Thanks.
