True to its name, translate.love was created with a mission to foster connection and understanding by breaking down language barriers. This project serves as a permanently free, open-source alternative to paid services, empowering developers and creators to integrate powerful translation capabilities into their applications without cost. Hosted at a domain that reflects its core purpose, the project is powered by the open-source LibreTranslate engine, ensuring it remains a community-driven effort.

Translate.love is a free and open source machine translation API developed for translating any variety of text and documents in over 30 different languages. It provides a free-to-use API for real-time development and integration with applications in need of translation services. This project seeks to make translation services easy to access for anyone by providing a FOSS alternative.
