Service

Service	Port	Description
`libretranslate`	`15000` → `5000`	LibreTranslate translation API

Loaded Languages

Only these languages are loaded at startup (LT_LOAD_ONLY):

Code	Language
`en`	English

These cover the Southeast Asian language churches targeted by ScraperControl importers (import-mass-schedules-ph.ts, import-philmass.ts).

API

Translate text:

curl -X POST http://192.168.0.241:15000/translate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"q": "Misa ng Bata", "source": "tl", "target": "en"}'

Web UI: http://192.168.0.241:15000 (enabled)

Running

docker compose up -d

Note: First startup downloads language models (~several minutes). The healthcheck has a 300 s start period to account for this.
