I go to DeepL to translate something and get hit with multiple popups about embracing AI. Annoyed, I click them away, decide to look for something else for the future, and paste in my text to translate it one last time. But it no longer even works… 
Anyway, can anyone recommend an online translator? Or maybe reasonable offline one for Linux?
I don't exactly know where they get the translation model from (the source I've found has fewer languages). You can find a barebones translation UI at about:translations in FF.
I don't know how well will it work at generating non-weird-sounding German; I only ever used it to translate from languages I speak less than French for my own understanding and it produced somewhat clunky output (but IIRC mostly when it changed meaning in some pretty guessable way).
@robryk Nice! It’s clearly really bad for anything public-facing (I can tell after just putting in one test sentence), but absolutely perfect for my use, thanks! 
@robryk What is “the thing firefox uses”?
My usecase is usually “write something in English and get it vaguely translated into German, whence I rewrite parts of it, ‘cause I don’t like the translator’s style”, so anything spitting out mostly correct German should be fine.
