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?

    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 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).
