Linguae uses open-source software and models published by third parties. We thank them. This page lists, for each one, its author, license and source, as those licenses require. Each license applies only to the component concerned: the rest of Linguae (its code, design and brand) is not distributed under an open-source license and remains governed by the Terms of Service.
Translation and review models
These models are not included in the installer: the application downloads them from Hugging Face when you choose them, then runs them on your device. The technical names below are given for the attribution their licenses require.
