| 51 | +# DESCRIPTION |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +**argospm** is the package management CLI for **Argos Translate**, an open-source offline translation library. It manages the download and installation of translation language packages (neural machine translation models) that enable offline text translation between language pairs. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Each package provides translation between a specific source and target language. Packages are downloaded from the Argos Translate package index and stored locally for use by the **argos-translate** Python library and **LibreTranslate** web interface. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +# CAVEATS |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +Translation packages can be large as they contain neural network models. The package index must be updated with **argospm update** before searching or installing new packages. Quality varies between language pairs — well-resourced language pairs like English-Spanish have better translation quality than less common pairs. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +# HISTORY |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +**argospm** is part of the **Argos Translate** project, an open-source neural machine translation library built in **Python** using **OpenNMT**. The project was created by **Argos Open Technologies** to provide free, offline translation capabilities as an alternative to cloud-based services. It also powers **LibreTranslate**, a self-hosted translation API. |
