Auto-translate GLPI ticket followups using local Ollama LLM

Project description

GLPI Followup Translate

Auto-translate GLPI tickets using a local Ollama LLM. Detects Chinese or English content and translates bidirectionally (zh ↔ en). Works with ticket names, descriptions, and followups.

📖 English | 简体中文

Features

  • 🔄 Daemon or one-shot — polling loop or single-pass mode
  • 🌐 Language detection — auto-detects Chinese and English
  • 🔀 Bidirectional — zh-cn → en, en → zh-cn
  • 📝 Preserves original — translation appended, never overwritten
  • 🎨 Rich-text aware — HTML formatting (<strong>, <em>, <span style="...">, colors, font sizes) is preserved in translations
  • 🚫 Dedup — content-hash state tracking prevents duplicate translations
  • ⚙️ Configurable — polling interval, model, language pairs, min text length
  • 💻 Cross-platform — Windows, Linux, macOS

Translation Format

Field Format
Title 原始标题 / Translated title
Description (rich text) <p>原始内容</p><br><br><p><strong>[AUTO-TRANSLATED]</strong></p><p>翻译内容</p>
Description (plain text) 原始内容\n\n[AUTO-TRANSLATED]\n翻译内容
Followup Same as description — rich text or plain text depending on content

Example — Title

服务器无法连接数据库 / The server cannot connect to the database

Example — Rich-Text Description

<p><strong>生产环境</strong>服务器无法连接到
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">MySQL数据库</span></p>
<br><br>
<p><strong>[AUTO-TRANSLATED]</strong></p>
<p><strong>Production environment</strong> server cannot connect to the
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">MySQL database</span>.</p>

Example — Plain-Text Followup

检查了防火墙规则,发现3306端口被意外关闭。

[AUTO-TRANSLATED]
Checked the firewall rules and found that port 3306 was accidentally closed.

# Edit config.yaml with your GLPI credentials

# Run
glpi-followup-translate              # daemon mode

glpi-followup-translate -c /path/to/config.yaml  # custom config path

Option B: Development / source install

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/TonyBlur/glpi-followup-translate.git

# Editable install (recommended for development)
pip install -e .

# Or install dependencies only
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Pull the translation model
ollama pull kaelri/hy-mt2:1.8b

# Configure
cp config.yaml.example config.yaml
# Edit config.yaml with your GLPI credentials

# Run
glpi-followup-translate                 # CLI command
python -m glpi_followup_translate       # or via python module
glpi-followup-translate --once          # single pass

  model: "kaelri/hy-mt2:1.8b"
  timeout: 60

polling:
  interval: 60          # seconds between checks

translation:
  prefix: "[AUTO-TRANSLATED]"
  min_text_length: 0    # 0 = translate any length

Testing

Single ticket test

python test_single_ticket.py

Creates one test ticket with rich-text (HTML) content and mixed Chinese/English followups, then runs one translation pass and verifies the format.

The script will:

  1. Check Ollama connectivity
  2. Test GLPI authentication
  3. Create a test ticket with HTML-formatted description
  4. Add 3 followups (plain text and HTML)
  5. Run one translation pass
  6. Display translated results
  7. Verify format correctness (title: / separator, HTML: <br> separators, plain: \n\n separators)

Multi-ticket test

python test_translate.py

Creates 3 test tickets with bilingual followups to verify end-to-end translation. This script cleans up old test tickets first, then:

  1. Check Ollama and GLPI connectivity
  2. Delete existing test tickets
  3. Create 3 tickets with Chinese/English content
  4. Add bilingual followups to each ticket
  5. Run one translation pass with debug logging
  6. Display all translated results
