LocalTranslate is a desktop application for Linux that performs machine translation locally using Firefox translation models.
It uses on-device neural models rather than a remote service, giving Linux users a native way to translate text without relying on the cloud.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports translation across a broad range of languages, including European, Asian, and Middle Eastern languages.
- Uses local neural translation models so translated text can stay on your device.
- Remembers the window size and last-used languages between sessions.
- Includes keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl+Enter to translate text and Ctrl+D to clear the input.
- Lets you quickly swap the source and target languages from the interface.
- Provides a Qt Quick based graphical interface for desktop use.
