About Mozhi
Mozhi puts a single interface in front of many translation engines, including Google Translate and DeepL, so you can translate text without visiting those services directly. It works without JavaScript in the browser and is written in Go.
You can run your own instance, and the project publishes build artifacts and a Docker image through its Codeberg pipeline. Development is active, with commits in September 2026.
