Mozhi

Mozhi (spelt moḻi) is an alternative-frontend for many translation engines.

It was initially made as a maintained fork/rewrite of simplytranslate, but has grown to have a lot more features as well!

I'm initially focusing on the api and engines, but eventually Mozhi will have a functioning CLI and webapp.

Supported Engines:

• Google
• Reverso
• DeepL
• LibreTranslate
• Yandex
• IBM Watson
• MyMemory
• DuckDuckGo (almost 1-1 with Bing Translate)

Building

go mod download
go run github.com/swaggo/swag/cmd/swag@latest init
go build -o mozhi

API Docs

Mozhi makes use of swagger (with the swagger fiber middleware) to manage the documentation of the API.

You can find it in /api/swagger of any instance.

Configuration

Features of Mozhi can be customized and toggled on/off using Environment Variables.

• MOZHI_PORT: Port the webserver listens on (if hosting API)
• MOZHI_USER_AGENT: Change user agent used to make HTTP requests
• MOZHI_LIBRETRANSLATE_URL: URL of Libretranslate instance (Example: MOZHI_LIBRETRANSLATE_URL=https://lt.psf.lt)

These envvars turn off/on engines. By default all of them are enabled.

• MOZHI_GOOGLE_ENABLED
• MOZHI_REVERSO_ENABLED
• MOZHI_DEEPL_ENABLED
• MOZHI_LIBRETRANSLATE_ENABLED
• MOZHI_YANDEX_ENABLED
• MOZHI_WATSON_ENABLED
• MOZHI_MYMEMORY_ENABLED
• MOZHI_DUCKDUCKGO_ENABLED

Features

• An all mode where the responses of all supported engines will be shown.
• Autodetect which will show the language that was detected
• Text-To-Speech for multiple engines
• A good API (subjective :P)
• All the stuff you expect from a translation utility :)

Etymology

Mozhi is the word in Tamil for language. Simple as that :P
