Project info

A Dart package to translate text using SimplyTranslate, Lingva Translate, and LibreTranslate.

TTS is also supported.

SimplyTranslate and Lingva Translate are free and open-source alternatives to Google Translate (that make use of Google Translate under the hood).

LibreTranslate is a free and open-source alternative to Google Translate that uses a open-source translation engine.

Not working?

As I can't always update the instance list (instances are run by volunteers and can be turned off at any time), do one of the following:

  • fetch the working instances via fetchInstances (look at example code, corresponding project is here)
  • Search for new instances by googling "simplytranslate" or "lingva translate" and set the instance with setInstance = "instance"
  • lingva instances can also be found here

Adding the package to your project

To add this package to your project, add the following line to your pubspec.yaml file under dependencies:

simplytranslate: ^2.2.0

then import the package in your Dart file:

import 'package:simplytranslate/simplytranslate.dart';

Usage

Example code

Limitations

  • Max char length per request for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean is around 1250. For other languages, it's around 5000 due to different encoding results.

Apps using SimplyTranslate

  • Pareader - Learn languages with news articles in multiple languages and translate words with a simple tap.
