Clarification on Commercial Usage and Self-Hosting of LibreTranslate

General
1

Hello LibreTranslate Team,

We are from Caxita, a software development company. We are evaluating LibreTranslate for English-to-Arabic content translation as part of our application.

We are planning to deploy and host LibreTranslate on our own server instead of using the publicly hosted API, mainly to maintain control over the translation service and our content.

Before proceeding with the implementation, we would appreciate your clarification on the following:

  1. Commercial Usage: Are we permitted to use LibreTranslate for commercial applications and client projects?
  2. Self-Hosting: Can we download, deploy and operate LibreTranslate on our own infrastructure without obtaining separate permission?
  3. Licensing Requirements: Are there any specific requirements under AGPL-3.0 that we should follow when integrating LibreTranslate into our application?
  4. English-to-Arabic Model: Could you confirm the licensing terms and commercial usage permissions for the English-to-Arabic translation model?
  5. Commercial Support: Do you offer any commercial licensing, support or consultation services if required?

We have already reviewed the available documentation and licensing information. However, we would appreciate confirmation from the project maintainers, particularly regarding the translation model and commercial deployment.

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,
Alka

Mm, did you read the AGPL license? What was not clear?

  1. I think some folks here on the forum (@argosopentech?) have provided consulting services before.
