RoadLang is a local-first translation engine that runs entirely on your device. Your text never leaves your network. Fast, accurate, and completely private. Replaces Google Translate.
All translation models run locally via Ollama. Download a language pack once, use it forever. No API keys. No rate limits. No per-character billing.
RoadLang uses transformer models that understand context, idioms, and tone. Technical docs get technical translations. Casual text stays casual.
Translate entire directories of files, markdown docs, or codebases. Preserve formatting, code blocks, and frontmatter. Built for developer workflows.
Drop-in replacement for the Google Translate API. Same endpoint format, same response schema. Switch your app to local translation in one line.
Pipe text through RoadLang from your terminal. Translate git commit messages, README files, or error logs. Integrates with any shell workflow.
Optimized for ARM64 hardware. Translations complete in under 200ms on a Raspberry Pi 5. Near-instant on desktop hardware with GPU.
No internet connection needed after initial model download. Translate on airplanes, in basements, or on air-gapped networks.
RoadLang sends zero data to any external server. No usage tracking, no analytics, no "anonymous" metrics. The binary runs and that is it.
Google Translate uses your translations to improve their models. RoadLang does not. Your medical records, legal documents, and private messages are never training data.
The full source is available on your Gitea instance. Inspect every line. Verify it does what we say. No trust required.
RoadLang runs on Linux, macOS, and ARM64 devices. Install it, download a language pair, and start translating.
