This app is a small jewel:
- offline translation thanks to firefox translation engine
- OCR on images with tessercat
- overlay of translated text on the original image -> awesome!
It’s still a young app, but it’s really important to go towards de-googling!

There is a PR to allow the use of the translation engine by other apps. Once this lands I would love to see Fedilab have this as an option for its inline translations as an alternative to external services.
If the same translation engine is used in multiple apps, then it would probably make sense to have it at system level like it happens for TTS engines. I wonder of this is possible, somehow
