It's been 20 days since I started my journey to use GrapheneOS. And Im thriving! I've removed Google Play services from my phone and set up my PC to automatically redirect away from all Google products. I've also left mainstream social media years ago and have now shifted my social media presence to Fediverse.
In case you're keen to do the same, here's a list of the alternatives I'm using now (this is list is not exhaustive):
Google Docs/Sheets: Cryptpad.fr (https://cryptpad.fr/)
Social Media: Mastodon (come and join us at https://infosec.exchange)
Email: ProtonMail (with personal domain)
Authenticator: Aegis (https://getaegis.app/)
Photo Management: Immich (https://github.com/immich-app/immich)
Google Translate: Libre Translate (https://libretranslate.com/)
Youtube: PeerTube (https://joinpeertube.org/)
Search Engine: SeaRx (on the way to be selfhosted and DuckDuckGo)
Web Browser: Waterfox (https://www.waterfox.net/)
Phone: grapheneOS (from a refurbished Pixel 6)
Google Maps: OpenStreet Map (https://www.openstreetmap.org)
Calendar, Online storage: ProtonDrive, Proton Calendar
App stores: Droidify (F-droid) and Aurora store for the occasional non F-Droid apps (like the ProtonMail client)
Messaging: Matrix (https://matrix.org) Session (https://getsession.org/) and Signal
Notes: Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/)
Yes, there is, but it depends on your server to activate it.
It works through a third party translation service, usually libretranslate.com, and it requires your server to pay the translation service a monthly fee.
If it's active on your server, you will see a "translate" button below a toot in a foreign language. I'm not sure if every app supports the translate button, but the website interface definitely does.
Yes, they do, if the admin has paid for a translation service to be installed.
There is no translation built into Mastodon, but there are features to integrate open source third party translation services like https://libretranslate.com. These third party services charge a certain amount for their API, to cover their costs.
