Its supported by this software by design it can be pretty private. (Self hosting)
i think translation results will be meh. DeepL is very good in this regard.
Sadly good services like translation will always need a backend normal users, or without a server, would need to trust . DeepL is good alternative but yes they get all your data
not always. Firefox has added an offline website translator in the latest update.
You don’t even need the latest Firefox to use it. They have offered an official extension for a while now, and it works well.

they could build private service and still train their AI on our data. but they don’t. just disconnect data and identity (IP, fingerprint) and we are good. so this frontend seems like a solution.
Very interesting, I’ve been looking for a long time for DeepL front-end, which is a very good translator! Thanks for sharing OP.
Interesting, I found it’s not particularly better than google translate, and makes some questionable stylistic choices.
i found it way better than Google. it’s power is context understanding. but this frontend is capable of doing Google too :)
same here, DeepL user but do not want it devs to see my interaction so found this front end and very happy right now 😃
This is just a frontend, DeepL (or any other engine you use) still sees the text that you translate.
That’s true but I don’t translate anything especially critical, but it’s works great when DeepL no longer lets you translate more after getting over their daily limit.
And even though they have my text, they don’t know where it really comes from because it comes from a proxy. (Although this makes me thing: Now the proxy maintainer have my text?)
i believe it works as a proxy, not just as a frontend. just like searxng or whoogle. but if not then sad 🥲
