We present a web service which handles and distributes JSON-encoded HTTP
requests for machine translation (MT) among multiple machines running
an MT system, including text pre- and post processing.
It is currently used to provide MT between several languages
for cross-lingual information retrieval in the Khresmoi project.
The software consists of an application server and remote workers which handle
text processing and communicate translation requests to MT
systems. The communication between the application server and the workers is
based on the XML-RPC protocol. We present
the overall design of the software and test results which document
speed and scalability of our solution.
Our software is licensed under the Apache 2.0 licence and is available for
download from the Lindat-Clarin repository and Github
