 I think Snort used to support it, but I can't find it in the settings menu anymore.

 I think Snort has their own translation service for subscribers, not 100% sure though.

Unfortunately I think only Damus supports this atm. The reason we stuck with the LibreTranslate API syntax is to support other clients but I don’t think anyone has added it.

I’ve talked to Vitor about it and he only wants on-device translation services for privacy (and android already offers this). I’m working on Fabian now :)

 I’m open to exploring how to make it more accessible, easier for users to sign up, etc. I think we could make the process of acquiring a key and depositing credits very smooth and in-app.

Our @Wino [Bot] already supports adding translation credits with /translate deposit API-KEY amount. If an invalid api-key is provided it will suggest one for you. We could automate this process with a client so with a DM behind the scene and a paid invoice you would have a translation service up and running! 

The main problem is that DeepL is expensive and people aren’t used to paying for translations.
