Transate text from stdin
to the current locale using ollama
and mixtral:instruct
.
mixtral:instruct
(around 26 GiB) will be downloaded the first time the utility is being run.
Requires ollama
to be set up and serving on port 11434
.
The translation takes a cuple of seconds up to several minutes, and is not terribly exact. But, it is a pretty versatile tool.
ollama
and translate
does not require an internet connection once mixtral:instruct
has been downloaded.
