Self hosted language translators? (lemmy.world)

I am a teacher and have students who speak many different languages. The most common ones are Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese, but we have other folks speaking other languages as well.

I wish to translate all my notes, lecture subtitles, and topic-exercise documents to other languages. Moreover every year, I have to update my teaching material and include new stuff. So, muddling though everything manually is not much of an option as it might take up to two months just for this task.

Are there nice self hosted and libre/open source solutions out there for this task?

Yes, just grab any recent LLM like Mistral-7B and ask it to translate for you. A local client is here https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp but you might need a good GPU to get quick answers.

Alternatively use https://lite.koboldai.net to use someone else's computer.

How trustworthy are LLM translations? Normal machine translation may lose context but I imagine LLM could make up shit?

From my experience: They're pretty good
