Should I keep 2 APKs, with and without Google libraries? One would have auto translate and qr code scanning and goes to the PlayStore, the other one would not offer such features and goes to F-Droid.

Looks like a lot of work. But hopefully an Android buildscript mastermind knows how to structure such a thing in automated CIs.

Does auto-translate work on device with downloaded language models or it reaches out to their servers? The latter could be a privacy concern.

The model is downloaded when needed for the first time. Everything else is local. I don't see a huge privacy concern. In fact I think it is better than any other online translation service.

But somebody with more knowledge in these libraries can convince me otherwise.
