Lingarr

Lingarr is a subtitle translation application that combines multiple translation services to automatically translate subtitle files to a target language. It supports LibreTranslate, local AI, and cloud providers like DeepL, Anthropic, OpenAI, and more, and can run as a local or SaaS deployment with a RESTful API for integration.
