`translate_translate`

Pack: translate · 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/translate_translate for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Translate text between languages using a LibreTranslate instance you supply — pass _apiKey for libretranslate.com or _endpoint for a self-hosted server. For translation with no key of your own, call mymemory_translate instead.
