Pack: mymemory · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/mymemory_translate for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Translate text from one language to another with no API key required. Source defaults to automatic language detection when omitted. Returns the translated text, the detected source language (when auto-detected), and a match-quality score (1.0 = exact translation-memory match, lower = machine-translated). Language codes are ISO 639-1 (e.g. “en”, “de”, “ja”, “zh-CN”).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`text`	string	yes	The text to translate.
`source`	string	no	Source language code, e.g. “en”. Omit to auto-detect.
`target`	string	yes	Target language code, e.g. “de”.
