You can run LibreTranslate locally in a Docker/Podman container. iirc it does need a few GB of space to download the model.
I only played with it for a little bit maybe like a year ago and wasn’t super impressed by its Japanese to English translations, but that could have been me just not setting it up right, or maybe its improved since then. I didn’t try any other languages
Anyone have experience with Kagi translate or LibreTranslate. How privacy respecting are they?
Are there any alternatives such as a self-hosted local translator?
