8 months ago This is coming from https://github.com/UlionTse/translators/blob/c20c815ffe0ed75c551eef37d86055d8a8e435c7/translators/server.py#L303.
It is used by TranslatorsServer to initialize the Bing and Google translation service classes. That object is created and assigned to a global variable in that package.
This seems to be a way to handle cookie consent banners from servers in the EU. I.e. Google and Bing are checking where the server is (i.e. using the IP address) and showing a cookie consent banner unless that has been authorised.
Ideally, that project should:
- use the same default region code as the Bing and Google classes when initializing TranslatorsServer as a constructor option;
- add an API on TranslatorsServer to specify the region to use, allowing callers (such as this project) to set the region when needed (doing this would update the region on the Bing and Google classes) -- e.g. deferring the request to the first time a translation is performed;
- or better yet, have a flag to enable region computation and compute the region when first trying to call the Bing or Google translation service.

Tried to run this without internet after installing and infering.
Got this error:
It tries to connect to this website and many others. This...is pretty shady, to be honest. Why exactly is it contacting a geolocation site and others in order to run?
Can i run this TRULY locally, without any kind of contact to other websites?
