   We have been warned of #Lingva, an alternative front-end for Google Translate with over a hundred languages available.

   https://github.com/thedaviddelta/lingva-translate

   It will be available with the next #Fedilab release.

     @apps Why warned? Is it dangerous?

     @apps The main problem with Google Translate is that it often (always?) uses English as intermediate language, which means that if neither your source nor your target language are English, you much too often end up with nonsense

     @apps For that reason it would be best to allow the choice of the target language, with English easily selectable

     No. It works without api keys.

     Will there be a need for API keys like with DeepL?
