I guess we all know about Google Translate, my one stop shop to quickly translate a single word, or a short sentence, or maybe even a whole interview in a different language.
Now to purge Google from my life, are there any alternatives?
Suggestions from the comments:
Since translation is pretty resource intensive, it seems to be offered only by those with infrastructure. DeepL seems pretty popular, but it is not comprehensive. Here’s a list I found on github, but maybe someone has an more libre suggestion
Google 108 Languages support the most languages in the world
Yandex 99 support more languages in the world, support word to emoji, unstable
Bing 77 support more languages in the world
Sogou 61 support more languages in the world
Baidu 28 support more languages, support professional field
Tencent 17 support more languages
Youdao 14 support more languages
Alibaba 12 support more languages, support professional field
Deepl 11 high quality to translate but response slowly, unstable

I’ve also been very pleased with its Chinese translations
I’ve used Reverso extensively and it works great, also Linguee is context-based so it can help in tricky cases.
Sweet, I was tired of using Bing over Googles’ translator (second result for “translate” in DuckDuckGo).
