A free app that changed how I experience the #Fediverse

🌍 A free app that changed how I experience the #Fediverse

The best thing I’ve learned on the #Fediverse is that it’s better to share what you genuinely love rather than posting just to gain followers.

Today, I want to highlight a #FDroid application that has become essential on my #Android device. It helps me understand most of the languages used across the Fediverse while fully respecting my privacy.

✨ Key features:

🌍 100% offline translation
⚡ Extremely fast translation
🎙️ Speech-to-text with instant translation
🔊 Audio playback of translated text
📷 Live camera translation: simply point your phone at signs, posters, or menus
🖼️ Image translation
📄 Document translation (PDF, ODT…)
🔗 Web page translation via URL
📚 Built-in dictionary

I also suggested its integration to the developers of #Holos and #Fedilab. They were very open and implemented it brilliantly. It shows how easily this kind of solution can be integrated into other Fediverse applications.

I would also like to sincerely thank the developer of Offline Translate for their work, dedication, and responsiveness. Free and open-source developers invest a tremendous amount of time into their projects. Even a simple message of appreciation or encouragement can truly make a difference.

By supporting these projects, we make the #Fediverse more accessible, more open, and more welcoming for all languages.
