I'm looking for a robust translation app that respect privacy and doesn't collect user data or send text to servers.

I've tried a few options, but I'd like to hear about your experiences: What do you actually use?

Thanks in advance ๐Ÿ™

Firefox translate - to open it in your firefox or one of its forks just paste about:translations#src=detect into url bar. For Android see Offline Translator

You wrote app so I assume android or iOS. I'm on /e/os by murena but it's android and currently I'm only using Offline Translator by David Ventura. Here's the apps github page. It didn't trip /e/os tracking detector even once so check it out if you're interested.
