Google Translate code is present on many web sites to provide automatic translations of text. Could your translate code be uploaded to a server and embedded in web page to provide the same functionality?

I'm not aware of any actively maintained projects that give you this out of the box, but these two could be starting points for such a project. Mozilla implemented a REST service based on (an earlier version of) bergamot-translator [1]. You could use that as a replacement for the WASM component in the addon's code. I also know of some full-page translation demo code that uses the python bindings of bergamot-translator [2]. That's basically a web proxy a la Goole Translate. Lastly, marian, the translation software that's being used, has a web server as well [3]. It does not support HTML though. EDIT: see also my earlier comment for using it with Node or Python [4], which you could use to implement a simple web API.

Sure, like I mentioned in the article, you can embed the engine and the models in any web page to be run in a browser with proper WebAssembly and SIMD support. You can have an example on how we did here [1] and test it here (I recommend using Firefox) [2] That way you don't need a server and everything is processed in the browser, so no need of google translate, or any cloud service to have translations embedded in any website anymore.
