Alternative front-end for Google Translate, serving as a Free and Open Source translator with over a hundred languages available
## How does it work?
Inspired by projects like [NewPipe](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe), [Nitter](https://github.com/zedeus/nitter), [Invidious](https://github.com/iv-org/invidious) or [Bibliogram](https://git.sr.ht/~cadence/bibliogram), *Lingva* scrapes through GTranslate and retrieves the translation without using any Google-related service, preventing them from tracking.
For this purpose, *Lingva* is built, among others, with the following Open Source resources:
+ [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/), the JavaScript superset, as the language.
+ [React](https://reactjs.org/) as the main front-end framework.
+ [NextJS](https://nextjs.org/) as the complementary React framework, that provides Server-Side Rendering, Static Site Generation or serverless API endpoints.
+ [ChakraUI](https://chakra-ui.com/) for the in-component styling.
+ [Jest](https://jestjs.io/), [Testing Library](https://testing-library.com/) & [Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/) for unit, integration & E2E testing.
+ [Apollo Server](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/) for handling the GraphQL endpoint.
+ [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/) for designing both the logo and the banner.
## Deployment
As *Lingva* is a [NextJS](https://nextjs.org/) project you can deploy your own instance anywhere Next is supported.
The only requerement is to set an environment variable called `NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_DOMAIN` with the domain you're deploying the instance under. This is used for the canonical URL and the meta tags.
The easiest way is to use their creators' own platform, [Vercel](https://vercel.com/), where you can deploy it for free with the following button.
[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/git/external?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FTheDavidDelta%2Flingva-translate%2Ftree%2Fmain&env=NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_DOMAIN&envDescription=Your%20domain)
There's also an [official Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/thedaviddelta/lingva-translate) available for easing the deployment using Compose, Kubernetes or similar technologies. Remember to also include the environment variable (simplified to `site_domain`) when running the container.
```bash
docker run -p 3000:3000 -e site_domain=lingva.ml thedaviddelta/lingva-translate:latest
```

## Public APIs
Nearly all the *Lingva* instances should supply a pair of public developer APIs: a RESTful one and a GraphQL one.
*Note: both APIs return the translation audio as a `Uint8Array` (served as `number[]` in JSON and `[Int]` in GraphQL) with the contents of the audio buffer.*
### REST API v1
+ GET `/api/v1/:source/:target/:query`
```typescript
{
translation: string
}
```
+ GET `/api/v1/audio/:lang/:query`
```typescript
{
audio: number[]
}
```
+ GET `/api/v1/languages/?:(source|target)`
```typescript
{
languages: [
{
code: string,
name: string
}
]
}
```
In addition, every endpoint can return an error message with the following structure instead.
```typescript
{
error: string
}
```
### GraphQL API
+ `/api/graphql`
```graphql
query {
translation(source: String target: String query: String!) {
source: {
lang: {
code: String!
name: String!
}
text: String!
audio: [Int]!
}
target: {
lang: {
code: String!
name: String!
}
text: String!
audio: [Int]!
}
}
audio(lang: String! query: String!) {
lang: {
code: String!
name: String!
}
text: String!
audio: [Int]!
}
languages(type: SOURCE|TARGET) {
code: String!
name: String!
}
}
```
