🈯 ComfyUI Translation Node (Offline)

Offline translation node for ComfyUI, powered by Facebook's M2M-100 multilingual model. Translate text between 100+ languages — completely offline and private.

🚀 Features

  • 🌍 Translate between 100+ languages
  • 🧠 Automatic source language detection
  • ⚡ Works entirely offline once the model is downloaded
  • 🧩 Seamless integration with text/image/video workflows in ComfyUI
  • 💾 Cached model for faster reuse

🛠️ Installation

  1. Copy or clone this repository into your ComfyUI custom nodes folder:
    ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-TranslationNode/
    
  2. Install dependencies:
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    
  3. Prepare the model files (see the next section).
  4. Restart ComfyUI and look for 🈯 Translation Node (Offline) under the Text category.

🧱 Local Model Setup

This node uses Facebook’s M2M-100 (418M) multilingual translation model.

  1. Download the model manually from Hugging Face: 🔗 https://huggingface.co/facebook/m2m100_418M
  2. Create the following folder structure inside your ComfyUI installation:
    ComfyUI/
    ├── custom_nodes/
    │   └── ComfyUI-TranslationNode/
    └── models/
        └── translation/
            └── facebook/
                └── m2m100_418M/
    
  3. Place all downloaded files into that final folder (m2m100_418M/):
    pytorch_model.bin
    rust_model.ot
    config.json
    source.spm
    target.spm
    tokenizer_config.json
    special_tokens_map.json
    
  4. When you launch ComfyUI, you should see this in the console:
    [TranslationNode] Using local model: models/translation/facebook/m2m100_418M
    

✅ Once the model is in place, the node will never download anything — it will always load from your local drive.

💡 Usage

  1. Add the Translation Node to your workflow.
  2. Enter any text you want to translate.
  3. Choose a target language (default: en).
  4. The source language can be set to auto for automatic detection.
  5. Connect the output (translated_text) to other nodes — for example, to an image generation prompt.
  6. Enjoy entering prompts in your own language — the node will handle the translation automatically!
