I've been using DeepL in Translate You for some time, but lately I don't like that it is so limited, I mean its api, I would like to find something open source that gives the same results, because with DeepL I haven't had any problems...

I like SimplyTranslate from F-Droid and RTranslate from GitHub. The second one also has a really cool live conversation mode where it can, through voice detection and TTS, interpret back and forth between two people.

Not same results as DeepL but.. You can use any popular online LLM for excellent translation. There are also "small" language models that you can run on your phone (if you havet a reasonable modern/powerful phone that is): https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm

I use libre translate in my mobile browser

I use Translate You with DeepL as well. Some time ago it stopped accepting my API key. Now I use the free API which works fine. I didn't dig to deep but what changed with the API? 🤔

Sadly not. I wonder if anyone ever tried to bring MarianNMT to Android?

Sometimes the translator doesn't work for me with the free api

I don't use it much, so never noticed. But did you ever try with your own API key by chance? It worked fine for me, but now I get 403 error.

I remember that I also tried this gTranslate frontend once. Even thougt not an alternative might be a temporary solution.

I don't think there's anything better than translate you atm.

Also I don't get your point, you don't like translate you because it is limited because of deepl api? Limited how? And how would another app fix the limitation with the API?

Could just learn the language I guess but then you gotta trust your own head
