I want to stop using Google translate app to translate text in pictures I take, which is something I often need to do while traveling abroad. Do you guys have any foss app recommendations? Or maybe a website?

It looks good but how do you use it to translate? You need to copy the text and use another translation app?

Yes. For now it does not support translate. To avoid google lense translate etc I think better to find an offline ai app. There are Whisper, SherpaTTS appds for voice recognition and text to speech. So there must be one to translate text as well. Let me search too. I think that is better and more accurate.

Translate you, as suggested in another comment seem to be a good shot. It recognises the text from a picture, screenshot... and uses online translators. Too bad it can't be offline.
