I hate my current solution.
I use notification dictionary and dict.cc which is obviously not open source. For me, it takes too long just to translate a word, or look it up. Do you have a great system?
Translate You can be a frontend for LibreTranslate, Lingva (Google Translate), DeepL and more.
To me, a front end doesn’t make the thing open source.
My ibretranslate experience is unfortunately bad :( sometimes it works but most often I have to wait for a couple of seconds and then it doesn’t show the word or something wrong. Moreover, oftentimes there are multiple translations for a word and it only displays one.
I also use dict.cc, the app is the developers source of income so no FOSS possible, but it is trustworthy and good software.
You can download the databases and build an own app in theory. But I dont need that.
I use Aard 2 with Freedict & Wiktionary dictionaries which works pretty well for me: https://github.com/itkach/aard2-android

Thx. The installation is too difficult for me
Goldendict-ng
I’ll have a look into it, thx! Anki integration sounds interesting
Also, if you happen to be learning Japanese, Chinese, or Korean, check out https://github.com/themoeway/yomitan
That’s nice as well. Not anymore, I don’t have a use for it.
LibreTranslate? Lingva Translate (Google Translate frontend)?
There are apps for either on F-droid.

I use QuickDic (f-droid) on Android for dictionaries. Super fast even on potato phone. For translations I use unofficial frontend for Deepl (f-droid).
I use deepl, but I have no idea if it is open source.
their GitHub only contains libraries for using the DeepL API. Everything else is closed source.
