"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

With DeepL moving to AWS, I'll obviously stop using it and I am thus in search of a new translator solution.

I feel, however, as if most translators are jumping to AI and I do not trust the technology enough, so the question arises: are there any good AI-free translators left? I need both for PC and an Android app; searching on F Droid and Discover (KDE Plasma) brings some results, but I thought of asking you guys if you recommend something in particular.

Thank you very much and have a nice day :)

If you want an AI-free translator, then you'll have to do dictionary translation.

This is the dictionary translator I use for Japanese -> English: ichi.moe

Yomitan works pretty good for browser Japanese -> English dictionary translation.

Be aware that using dictionary translation requires some knowledge of the source language's grammar. It can tell you what the pieces mean but you still have to fit them together yourself.
