Are there any FOSS phone apps/ private alternatives for Google Translate for translating text from images? Or maybe a privacy-friendly alternative front-end for GT? The ability to translate from images (such as product labels in a store) is the main feature I’m looking for. TIA for any and all tips.

    Thanks for this. I’m looking for a phone app, sorry for not specifying that. I run stock Android so using GT might be the least of my privacy concerns, though… I can’t make the switch to a de-googled phone (Pixel and GrapheneOS) yet because money. Technically I could try LineageOS, but I’m afraid of bricking my phone.

      You can use Termux… but yeah, it’s a little rough

      And in all my 7 years of flashing phones I’ve never bricked one, though of course YMMV
