Doing this also sends the data of whatever you are translating to Apple. Something to keep in mind 😳

Not if you’re using it offline, but yea no way to prove its actually offline. We need some AI model that can be stored and run locally for translation… it’s only a matter of time
This is basically what you’re asking for. The tradeoff is that we add a dependency to Google, and requires storing translation models offline on disk and memory which can take a good amount of space. This is also what Amethyst does on Android. I’m happy to explore this translation approach as an option for Damus.
