Show HN: I made an open source and local translation app
RTranslator is the world's first open source real-time translation app. - niedev/RTranslator
RTranslator uses Meta's NLLB for translation and OpenAi's Whisper for speech recognition, both are open-source and state of the art AIs, have excellent quality and run directly on the phone, ensuring absolute privacy and the possibility of using RTranslator even offline without loss of quality. If you have a pretty crappy phone (or if you want maximum speed) you can always use version 1.0 of RTranslator(but since it uses Google APIs it's not free and needs some initial setup). Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Finnish, French, Croatian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese.
