I am a teacher and have students who speak many different languages. The most common ones are Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese, but we have other folks speaking other languages as well.

I wish to translate all my notes, lecture subtitles, and topic-exercise documents to other languages. Moreover every year, I have to update my teaching material and include new stuff. So, muddling though everything manually is not much of an option as it might take up to two months just for this task.

Are there nice self hosted and libre/open source solutions out there for this task?

    Please add a disclaimer to the documents stating it was machine translated. Machine translation can get it wrong or take liberties, make up stuff. Please inform your readers so they can be on the lookout.

    Keep in mind the translated stuff by machine translation won’t be 100% what you say in your native language to other students. Be careful not to spread wrong information or knowledge.
