API integration: Mozhi

[Terkyz]

Mozhi as their Codeberg page explains "It was initially made as a maintained fork/rewrite of simplytranslate, but has grown to have a lot more features as well!"

What personally attracted my attention about this front-end is that it supports DeepL without using an API Key, I know that many front-ends already support this and that due to usage the API is blocked, but having more options is always good.

I have no knowledge in this area, but it seems to me that this link about the API documentation can be useful.

It looks good.

I tried to call public API with code below, it works for me

await fetch("https://translate.bus-hit.me/api/translate?engine=deepl&from=en&to=ru&text=Hello%20world", {
    "credentials": "omit",
    "headers": {
        "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0",
        "Accept": "application/json",
        "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5",
        "Sec-Fetch-Dest": "empty",
        "Sec-Fetch-Mode": "cors",
        "Sec-Fetch-Site": "same-origin"
    },
    "method": "GET",
    "mode": "cors"
}).then(r=>r.json());

Thanks for links, i will research it and maybe will implement custom translator with this service

When I try to add Mozhi as a custom language to Linguistic by copying your code, I get this error:

"await is only valid in async functions, async generators and modules"

If you need code for translator, you need a class that implements a custom translator API.

I implemented it for you, but when i tried, it works fine for single text translation, but it does not work for pages translation, due to API limitations:

class MozhiTranslator {
    translate = (text, from, to) => {
        return fetch(`https://translate.bus-hit.me/api/translate?engine=deepl&from=${from}&to=${to}&text=${encodeURIComponent(text)}`, {
            "credentials": "omit",
            "headers": {
                "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0",
                "Accept": "application/json",
                "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5",
                "Sec-Fetch-Dest": "empty",
                "Sec-Fetch-Mode": "cors",
                "Sec-Fetch-Site": "same-origin"
            },
            "method": "GET",
            "mode": "cors"
        })
            .then((r) => r.json())
            .then((r) => r['translated-text']);
    };

    translateBatch = (texts, from, to) =>
        Promise.all(texts.map((text) => this.translate(text, from, to)));

    getLengthLimit = () => 5000;
    getRequestsTimeout = () => 300;
    checkLimitExceeding = (text) => {
        const textLength = !Array.isArray(text)
            ? text.length
            : text.reduce((len, text) => len + text.length, 0);

        return textLength - this.getLengthLimit();
    };

    static isSupportedAutoFrom = () => false;

    // prettier-ignore
    static getSupportedLanguages = () => [

Hmm, I tried it and it doesn't even translate a word... Thank you for your work and sorry if I wasted your time.

[vitonsky]

It's ok. Anyway it's good to know about translation API in the world
