Enabling additional languages in LibreTranslate web UI

What YunoHost version are you running: 12.0.10
What app is this about: LibreTranslate

Describe your issue

Thank you for taking your time having a look at this. I am quite new to Yunohost and had a lot of fun tinkering with it yet.
However, I just ran into an issue with LibreTranslate which I did not manage to solve on my own yet. There is unfortunately no tag for LibreTranslate present here. Thus, I seached for keywords but did not found a solution on the following:

By default, the Yunohost installs Libretranslate with EN <> FR translations available via the web interface. I would love to use German (DE) and Spanish (ES) as well. There is even a forum post explaining this quite well:

LibreTranslate: How to add additional language models?

My YunoHost server Hardware: VPS YunoHost version: 11.2.3 I have access to my server : Through SSH & Web Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no If your request is related to an app, specify its name and version: libretranslate 1.3.11~ynh2 Description of my issue I have installed the current version 1.3.11~ynh2 of libretranslate, but it looks like it is packaged with English and French only. Does anyone knows how to add ad…

Unfortunately, I somehow struggle to perform the commands mentioned there as my Yunohost admin user seems to lack permissions (?).
Example:

sudo -u libretranslate /var/www/libretranslate/venv/bin/argospm search
Sorry, user {my user} is not allowed to execute ‘/var/www/libretranslate/venv/bin/argospm search’ as libretranslate on {my domain}.ynh.fr.

I was successful executing the commands like this though:

sudo /var/www/libretranslate/venv/bin/argospm search

While it seems that this way, I was able to download the additional language models and to adjust the libretranslate.service - file, the changes to not appear in the web UI afterwards. I also restarted the application via Yunohost’s admin panel.

I am not sure whether this is a permission topic on my machine or if I did something wrong configuring LibreTranslate. How can I execute e.g.
sudo -u libretranslate /var/www/libretranslate/venv/bin/argospm search
with my standard Yunohost admin user?

Any tips are greatly appreciated!

SOLVED

It was indeed a permission topic. I always used the yunohost admin user. In fact, I needed to SSH onto my machine with the system’s root user and then perform the steps mentioned in the blog post I quoted above. Worked like a charm!
