About this preview
This is an unofficial preview of the LibreTranslate documentation, rebuilt with Sourcey, an open-source docs engine licensed under AGPL-3.0. It is not run by the LibreTranslate project. Search engines are asked not to index it, and it comes down on request, or after 30 days.
What it is built from
- The documentation repository, LibreTranslate/Documentation at
e4be096, converted withsourcey migrate: all 61 pages in English, Spanish, French and Italian at their current addresses, with every heading link still landing. - The API reference from LibreTranslate’s OpenAPI specification.
- The MCP reference from the official server,
@libretranslate/mcp1.0.2: its three tools as the server itself reports them when it starts. No tool was run to capture them.
Measured beside the current site
Both sites were built from their own sources and served side by side on one machine, compressed as hosts serve them. Each page was opened in a fresh browser at 1440 by 1000 pixels and measured once the network settled, on 21 October 2026 with Sourcey 3.8.3.

The preview builds in 3.0 s from cold, peaking at 631 MB of memory, and in 1.8 s with its cache. It writes 8.2 MB, of which 6.8 MB is what readers load (the current site writes 4.4 MB) and 1.3 MB is the machine-readable output below.
For agents
Every page and operation is also published as Markdown, with an llms.txt, a documents index, the OpenAPI bundle and the MCP tool descriptor.
Links on the current site that miss their section
The Spanish and Italian guides link to the English pages’ heading anchors, which their translated headings do not have.
