`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.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`text`	string	yes	The text to translate
`source`	string	yes	Source language code (e.g. “en” for English, “es” for Spanish)
`target`	string	yes	Target language code (e.g. “es” for Spanish, “fr” for French)
