This is a quickstart guide to setting up your very own Apertium API server on Debian-based systems (including Ubuntu).
Why?[edit]
Running your own API server means
- you get to decide what kinds of crazy half-finished language pairs to serve (or you can just serve a few of the high-quality ones that you like)
- you can run Apertium within your super-fortified network without your highly confidential translations touching anyone else's computer
- you don't have to worry about anyone else's API server going down right when you need it the most
- you have control over how many concurrent apertium processes you run (if your site or program calls plain `apertium` on each request, you can easily overload your server)
Quickstart[edit]
Unless you're running Debian sid, you'll need the apt-repo:
curl -sS https://apertium.projectjj.com/apt/install-nightly.sh | sudo bash
Now install APY and the language pairs you want:
sudo apt-get install apertium-apy sudo apt-get install apertium-eng-kaz apertium-sme-nob apertium-hbs-mkd apertium-eo-en apertium-tat-rus # etc.
(Here we're assuming you only want packaged pairs, see Installation on how to install pairs that are only in SVN.)
You can now start APY like this:
sudo systemctl start apertium-apy
and enable it for starting after a reboot like this:
sudo systemctl enable apertium-apy
Test that it works[edit]
You can do
sudo systemctl status apertium-apy
and it should show something like
● apertium-apy.service - Apertium APY service

if it's started. (Press q to get your terminal back if it put you in less-mode.)
Try checking what language data it found:
curl http://localhost:2737/listPairs
It should contain a list of pairs.
Say the list contains {"sourceLanguage": "sme", "targetLanguage": "nob"}, then we can try translating the sentence "in leat doppe" from sme to nob:
curl 'http://localhost:2737/translate?langpair=sme|nob&q=in+leat+doppe'
That should give something like {"responseData": {"translatedText": "jeg er ikke der borte"}, "responseDetails": null, "responseStatus": 200}
.
If everything worked, congrats, you have your own Apertium API server running!
Now open port 2737 in your firewall and point your website or app at it :-)
If you ran into trouble, please ask for help on IRC or the mailing list.
If you don't have/want root[edit]
See Apertium-apy#Running_as_a_--user_unit.
Troubleshooting[edit]
servlet.py: error: APY needs a UTF-8 locale, please set LANG or LC_ALL[edit]
You need to have at least one UTF-8 locale installed. Do
locale -a
to see which ones you have installed. At minimum, Debian/Ubuntu derivatives will have the C.UTF-8 locale available, which will do. But you can use any UTF-8 locale you want, such as en_US.utf8 or pt_BR.utf8. To edit daemon locale, run
sudo systemctl edit apertium-apy
which will open an empty file for you; enter
[Service] Environment=LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
there and verify what it all looks like with
systemctl cat apertium-apy
then try starting again with
sudo systemctl start apertium-apy
More info[edit]
See Apertium-apy for other things you can do with Apy and more documentation.
