Using Bergamot Translator in JavaScript

All the instructions below are meant to run from the current directory.

Using JS APIs

See node-test.js for an annotated example of how to use the WASM module. Most of the code from it can also be used in a browser context.

Alternatively refer to the file test_page/js/worker.js that demonstrates how to use the bergamot translator in JavaScript via a <script> tag.

Demo

  • Download bergamot model files required for translation

    Use following instructions to download model files (make sure that git-lfs is installed and initialized before running these instructions):

    cd test_page
git clone --depth 1 --branch main --single-branch https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations-models/
mkdir models
cp -rf firefox-translations-models/registry.json models
cp -rf firefox-translations-models/models/prod/* models
cp -rf firefox-translations-models/models/dev/* models
gunzip models/*/*

  • Start the test webserver (ensure you have the latest nodejs installed)

    cd test_page
bash start_server.sh ../../build-wasm

    Provide the folder containing the wasm artifacts as the first argument of start_server.sh script (../../build-wasm in this case).

  • Open any browser (tested with latest Chrome/Firefox/Safari)

  • Browse to the following page:

    http://localhost:80

  • Perform translations:

    • Choose the source and target languages using From and To dropdowns.

    • Type a sentence to be translated in the From textbox.

    • See the result in the To textbox.
