Chrome Translator API Language Check

Checks language availability for Chrome's built-in Translator API, running inside a Docker environment.

Description

Generates a JSON file (out/results.json) with available translation languages grouped by source language, using the following format:

"en": [ "ar", "bg", "de", "de-AT", "es", "es-MX", "fr", "ja" ... ],

Only language pairs with "downloadable" availability are included (Chrome can download the translation model according to the available documentation).

The idea was taken from this issue.

Build and Run

Linux

docker build -t language-validation .

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)/out:/out" language-validation

macOS Silicon

docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t language-validation .

docker run --rm --platform linux/amd64 -v "$(pwd)/out:/out" language-validation

Output is saved to the out directory in the project.
