## What it is
SQL Translator is a free, open-source web application that converts natural language queries into SQL code and translates SQL back into human-readable text using OpenAI models. It features schema awareness, query history, syntax highlighting, and can be self-hosted via npm or Docker Compose.

## Use cases
- convert plain english questions into sql queries
- translate sql queries into human-readable explanations
- help non-technical users query a database
- generate sql from a table schema description
- understand legacy sql code without a dba
- self-host a text-to-sql tool with my own openai key

## When to choose
- you want a free, self-hostable natural-language-to-SQL interface
- you need bidirectional translation between SQL and plain English
- you want a simple web UI with query history and syntax highlighting

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed-correct SQL for production without review
- you don't want to provide an OpenAI API key or pay for API usage
- you need a CLI or programmatic API rather than a web app
