Translates text between 200 languages with a choice of engines, from open models running in the Space to cloud models you reach with your own key. For writers, students and developers. NLLB Translator is a kit in the Writing category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by Asanari ## About ### What it is NLLB Translator is a web app that translates text across 200 languages and lets you pick the engine for each request. Several open models run inside the Space with no outside API. Cloud models work too when you supply your own key. The backend is FastAPI and the front end is Next.js. ### Who it suits It suits people who translate often and want to compare engines, such as writers, students and researchers. It also suits developers who want a self-hosted translator with a clean interface and room to add engines. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Writing | Authors and editors | Compare machine translations of a passage | Run one paragraph through two engines | | Education | Language students | Check meaning in a language they are learning | Translate a sentence and read it back | | Software | Developers | Host a translator on their own server | Run the Docker image and add an engine | | Research | Linguists | Test how engines treat less common languages | Switch engines mid-session on the same text | Anyone who needs a certified legal translation can skip it, since these are machine engines. ### Where to use it The app runs in three places. - A web browser, on the page of the Space at Hugging Face - Windows, macOS or Linux, as a local copy built with Docker - Your own server, using the Dockerfile and compose file in the repository | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Quick translation | Anyone | Translated text with live output as it arrives | | Engine comparison | Researchers | The same text from different local and cloud engines | | Self-hosting | Developers | A translator that keeps local engines on your server | ### How to set it up The online page needs nothing installed. A local copy needs the following. - Docker - Python with pip, to install the Hugging Face hub package - Your own keys, only if you want cloud engines 1. Install the Hugging Face hub package and download a copy of the Space. 2. Move into the new folder and build the Docker image. 3. Run the container with port 7860 published. 4. Optionally set keys as server settings, or paste them in the app's API keys panel. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download Asanari/nllb-translator --repo-type space --local-dir nllb-translator cd nllb-translator docker build -t nllb-translator . docker run -it -p 7860:7860 nllb-translator ``` ### How to use it Open the app, pick a source and target language, choose an engine, and type or paste your text. Translation starts as you type, and the output streams in. Swap, copy and example phrases are one click away. | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | NLLB-200 600M | Runs on the server with int8 CPU inference across 200 languages | | Hy-MT2 1.8B | Tencent's translation-focused model, run on the server | | TranslateGemma 4B | A Google model that runs in the Space through Ollama and is slower on free CPU | | Qwen3.5 2B and Qwen3 1.7B | Small Qwen models run in the Space through Ollama | | Gemini, Groq and OpenRouter | Cloud engines you reach with your own key | | GPT-6 Luna | A paid OpenAI engine that needs an OpenAI key | ### Example You pick Korean as the target, choose the Hy-MT2 engine, and paste a short English paragraph. The translation streams into the output pane as you type, and you can switch to a cloud engine to compare. ### For newcomers and experts If you are new to this, leave the default engine and translate one short sentence. Then switch the engine and read how the wording changes. If you know the field, five local engines translate on the server and cloud engines are labelled with where your text goes. LLM output streams token by token, NLLB shows each finished line, and a new edit cancels the older stream. Bounded caches on the server and in the browser reuse completed translations. If a Groq model is retired, the backend finds the newest model of the same family. Pick languages and an engine → Type or paste your text → Local or cloud engine translates → Output streams into the page ### Good to know Each engine reports whether it is ready, and the interface offers only the ready ones. Keys pasted in the browser stay in that browser and are passed per request, so the server never stores them. - License: MIT - Cost to run: local engines need no key, while Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter and OpenAI engines need your own key, and GPT-6 Luna is paid - Data it reaches: your text goes to the cloud provider only when you pick a cloud engine, and local engines translate on the server - Limits: TranslateGemma is slower on the free CPU ## README ````markdown # NLLB Translator Translates text between 200 languages with a choice of engines, from open models running in the Space to cloud models you reach with your own key.
