Until AI models on the device will become a standard I really doubt you’ll find a viable alternative, since then it will always be someone’s server you send your pictures to, it’s the matter of who you trust more, a well established corporation which will profit from your content or some shady company/startup that will do the same but in less controlled environment
I highly doubt if they really live stream the video you took, or pictures. I would much rather believe an OCR is being done locally and send it to a server for translation.

Nah, bergamont works mighty fine offline in Firefox on Android right now already. You don’t need stupid LLMs to do machine translations.
The real difficulty is OCR and combining the two.

Or a self-hosted server…
