      i think translation results will be meh. DeepL is very good in this regard.

    Sadly good services like translation will always need a backend normal users, or without a server, would need to trust . DeepL is good alternative but yes they get all your data

    Very interesting, I’ve been looking for a long time for DeepL front-end, which is a very good translator! Thanks for sharing OP.

        This is just a frontend, DeepL (or any other engine you use) still sees the text that you translate.

          That’s true but I don’t translate anything especially critical, but it’s works great when DeepL no longer lets you translate more after getting over their daily limit.

          And even though they have my text, they don’t know where it really comes from because it comes from a proxy. (Although this makes me thing: Now the proxy maintainer have my text?)

            i believe it works as a proxy, not just as a frontend. just like searxng or whoogle. but if not then sad 🥲

      Interesting, I found it’s not particularly better than google translate, and makes some questionable stylistic choices.

        i found it way better than Google. it’s power is context understanding. but this frontend is capable of doing Google too :)
