I hate my current solution.

I use notification dictionary and dict.cc which is obviously not open source. For me, it takes too long just to translate a word, or look it up. Do you have a great system?

Translate You can be a frontend for LibreTranslate, Lingva (Google Translate), DeepL and more.

To me, a front end doesn't make the thing open source.

My ibretranslate experience is unfortunately bad :( sometimes it works but most often I have to wait for a couple of seconds and then it doesn't show the word or something wrong. Moreover, oftentimes there are multiple translations for a word and it only displays one.
