Description: # Argos Translate
        [Docs](https://argos-translate.readthedocs.io) | [Website](https://www.argosopentech.com)
        
        Open-source offline translation library written in Python. Uses [OpenNMT](https://opennmt.net/) for translations, [SentencePiece](https://github.com/google/sentencepiece) for tokenization, [Stanza](https://github.com/stanfordnlp/stanza) for sentence boundary detection, and [PyQt](https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro) for GUI. Designed to be used as either a Python library, command-line, or GUI application. [LibreTranslate](https://libretranslate.com) is an API and web-app built on top of Argos Translate.
        
        Argos Translate supports installing model files which are a zip archive with an ".argosmodel" extension that contains an OpenNMT [CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2) model, a [SentencePiece](https://github.com/google/sentencepiece) tokenization model, a [Stanza](https://github.com/stanfordnlp/stanza) tokenizer model for sentence boundary detection, and metadata about the model. Pretrained models can be downloaded [here](https://www.argosopentech.com/argospm/index/).
        
        Argos Translate also manages automatically pivoting through intermediate languages to translate between languages that don't have a direct translation between them installed. For example, if you have a es ➔ en and en ➔ fr translation installed you are able to translate from es ➔ fr as if you had that translation installed. This allows for translating between a wide variety of languages at the cost of some loss of translation quality.

        ```
        const res = await fetch("https://libretranslate.com/translate", {

        }
        ```
        
        
        ## Installation
        ### Install from PyPI
        Argos Translate is available from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/argostranslate/) and can be installed with pip.
        ```
        python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
        python3 -m pip install argostranslate
        ```
        #### Installation for Windows
        CTranslate2, the inference engine for Argos Translate, [currently only distributes binaries for Linux and MacOS](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2/issues/133) so to install Argos Translate on Windows you will need to build CTranslate2 from source.
        ### Install from Snap Store
        Argos Translate is available from the Snap Store and auto installs a content snap to support translation between Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. Additional languages can be installed from supplementary content snaps.
        
        With [snapd installed](https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd):
        ```
        sudo snap install argos-translate
        ``` 
        [![Get it from the Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/static/images/badges/en/snap-store-white.svg)](https://snapcraft.io/argos-translate)
        
        Automatically installs and connects to `argos-translate-base-langs` snap to support translations between Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.
        
        Additional languages can be installed from *.argosmodel files or from supplementary content snaps:
        * argos-translate-de-en - German - English
        * argos-translate-en-it - English - Italian
        * argos-translate-en-pt - English - Portuguese
        
        To connect automatically:
        `sudo snap connect argos-translate:argos-packages argos-translate-en-it:argos-packages`
        
        To run command line interface on Snapcraft (currently only available in source installation):
        ```
        argos-translate.argos-translate-cli --help
        ```
        
        ### Python source installation
        #### Dependencies
        Requires Python3, pip (which should come with Python3), and optionally virtualenv to keep Argos Translate's dependencies separate from other Python programs you have installed.
        
        [Python Installation Instructions](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download)
        
        On Ubuntu:
        ```
        sudo apt-get update
        sudo apt-get install -y python3
        ```
        #### Install
        1. Download a copy of this repo (this requires either installing git or downloading a zip from GitHub):
        ```
        git clone https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate.git
        cd argos-translate
        ```
        2. Make a virtual environment to install into (optional):
        ```
        python3 -m pip install --upgrade virtualenv # If virtualenv not already installed
        virtualenv env
        source env/bin/activate
        ```
        3. Install this package with pip:
        ```
        python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
        python3 -m pip install .
        ```
        
        ### Build and install snap package
        1. Install [snapd](https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd) if it isn't already installed.
        2. Using snapd install snapcraft and its dependency multipass:
        ```
        sudo snap install multipass
        sudo snap install snapcraft
        ```
        3. Clone this repo:
        ```
        git clone https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate.git
        cd argos-translate
        ```
        4. From the root directory of this project build the snap package:
        ```
        SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT_MEMORY=4G snapcraft
        ```
        Any *unzipped* package files in package/ will be automatically included in the snap archive (and won't be able to be deleted by users of the snap).
        
        Note, the build won't run with Snapcraft's default build memory of 2GB so you need to set the SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT environment variable. [More on Snapcraft forum](https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snapcraft-configuration-of-multipass-vm-arguments/9761).
        
        5. Install the snap package:
        ```
        sudo snap install --devmode argos-translate_<version information>.snap
        ```
        ### Run Argos Translate!
        ```
        argos-translate
        argos-translate-gui
        ```
        
        When installing with snap a .desktop file should also be installed which will make Argos Translate available from the desktop menu.
