Setting up Translation Tool API (DeepL X) Using Docker - Freedom in Multilingual Translation

Edited on In Views: Reading time ≈ 4 mins.

Offering a multilingual translation interface, providing translation services for programs/systems.

Purpose

Providing a multilingual translation interface, rendering translation services for programs/systems.

December 30, 2023, Practical use of Python for testing (to achieve a multilingual solution in Hexo):

After making multiple requests, errors occurred.

Thread-1 is translating from Chinese to English, length=437                                                        
Response RESULT:  {"code":429,"message":"Too Many Requests"}

Overall, the performance is quite disappointing, feeling rather useless.

How to Use

Post to http://192.168.6.116:1188/translate

If using GET, the usage is printed out:

{“code”:200,”message”:”DeepL Free API - Go to /translate with POST.”}

For curl usage:

        restart: always

Open firewall port 1188, reverse proxy (if required)

Next Steps

I aim to feed all Chinese language content to this API for translation into English and Traditional Chinese, thus achieving full multilingual functionality; but there’s still a long way to go…
