How to list supported languages with your AI

Connect the LibreTranslate API to your AI client once. After that, your agent can check exactly which languages your translation instance supports.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I see which languages my AI can translate?

Your AI calls the LibreTranslate API to fetch the current language catalog. This gives you a real-time list of every language your specific instance is ready to handle.

The outcomes.

What you get from this task.

The AI handles the technical handshake with the API so you don't have to.

DATA

Language catalog

The AI retrieves the full list of language codes and names. You get a clean list of what's available for translation.

VALIDATION

Support check

Your agent confirms if a specific language is active. This prevents errors before you attempt a translation.

PLANNING

Translation prep

The AI uses the language list to decide how to handle your text. It knows exactly which targets are valid.

HUMAN

Manual selection

You decide which languages to prioritize or restrict. The AI provides the options, but you control the scope.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat and the LibreTranslate instance.

  1. Fetch language list

    The AI reaches out to your LibreTranslate instance to pull the latest supported language data.

  2. Parse the catalog

    The agent organizes the raw API response into a readable format for your conversation.

    list_supported_languages

  3. Verify language availability

    The AI checks your requested language against the retrieved list to ensure it exists.

    list_supported_languages

  4. Report findings

    Yes, as long as you provide the correct API endpoint and credentials through the Connector.

    Can the AI delete a language from the list?

    No. The AI has no permission to modify your LibreTranslate configuration or delete any data.
