#Google Translate alternatives

[trulinco]

In a world that thrives on global connections, language barriers can be a significant hindrance. While Google Translate has been a go-to solution for many, there are alternatives that not only rival its capabilities but also offer unique features. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the Best Google Translate Alternatives that stand out in terms of accuracy, user interface, and additional functionalities.

What if both of us grew up terrified of emotional attachment because we were taught that it's a weakness… and we were both assassins? 😳

Some recent sketches I did-

First is Miguel meeting a werewolf

Second is if Black Widow had been merged with Venom

Third is a scene idea of Miguel and BW while they were trying to capture a Doc Ock variant and got hit with a chemical compound that was making them go into heat-

Concept Art/Model Sheet for Meifang Lapis Lazuli

Translations for the notes on the sheet under the cut. Unfortunately, I do not read or speak Japanese. These translations are the product of the combined efforts of machine translation and my frantic, desperate scouring of online kanji dictionaries.

If you catch me making any mistakes, or you know the language better and can correct my errors, I would greatly appreciate it!

Meifang = Lapis Lazuli

About 160cm

Slender build

Modified Wings of Justice uniform

The hairpiece is shaped like devil horns.

Twintails with a lot of hair.

I thought this would be a simple post... I thought I'd throw the image in Google Translate, write three lines, and be done.

Somehow, it's been over five hours, and I've learned a bunch about the anatomy of kanji...

I was originally going to include some kind of "translator's notes" section at the end of this post, but it got way, way too long, and steady decayed into a first-hand account of my day-long hunt to identify 'which kanji this smudgey shape is supposed to be'... instead of a Meifang post.

So, I'll end things here in order to stay on track. If I ever do post the rant I cut, I'll edit a link here.

ad alium mundum, obsecro, ad alium mundum Command Processing... Command Accepted

Notes seem to appear over the observation. Inputs from the previous User. Some seem basic and some seem to be complete gibberish. "Diversion holding stable." "☞︎⚐︎☼︎☝︎✋︎✞︎☜︎ 💣︎☜︎" "Sentio animo prodidit" The darkness returns.

Command Accepted

The device seems to take the input of both times to automatically load the next world.

The Fallen World

Repeating the same process as the camera once again shows the same room. It seemed different. A bit worn down with an increased red and black color scheme but still having the same matching items and the same matching people... The Device still seems to be in Observation mode as the occupants in the room don't seem to notice you. A Human with slightly different style of clothes. And a Flower in a golden potbot. They seem to be just sitting together. Happy together.

Frisk: "Alright Sneaky the sneaker, I should have known you would slip in a secret message, but I don't blame you,"

Flowey: "And I should have known we would only get sent to another similar timeline to ours, looks like a goth universe, interesting,"

Frisk: "How stylish,"

Flowey: "Hmph, too stylish, why didn't I get a gold potbot?"

*Flowey then suddenly grins a big devious grin*

Frisk: "Uh oh! I know that face! What are you planning?"

Flowey: "If it works, you'll see,"

Flowey: "Survey Program, Contact, voice message! 'Flowey! Osculetur Frisk!' End voice message!"

Frisk: " ...What did you say?"

Flowey: "I said- *the Cam cannot make out his whispering*"

Frisk: *gasps!*

Frisk: *Holds back laughter* "Asriel! You hypocrite! Even after WE had people tease us?!"

Flowey: "I COULDN'T RESIST! HAHAHAHA!"

Every character becomes genderqueer when you google translate a fic from italian/spanish to another language

[murky-tannin]

I wish duolingo just stuck to one accent so so bad. Just started Portuguese and every question the same word is pronounced differently 😭I'm already gonna struggle learning 1 alphabet let alone like 5 please duolingo

[cheemken]

You know I’m reading through some of your old posts and I got to the SilkWing AU. And like Iris and Silvers parents are French and Japanese

These kids are bilingual

And I’m only pointing this out because while I only speak English I do have friends who speak more than one language and they tend to switch to their native language when angry or speaking fast

Now imagine The Unova Kids or the Johto kids being real fucking confused when Iris starts speaking French or Japanese cause she saw a cute Pokémon like goomy or applin, or Silver speaks in English or French cause he got embarrassed by his friends and he’s cursing them out lmao, has happened to me before

Or even just Iris speaking English and then completely forgetting a word and trying to describe it for the Unova kids to figure out

YES CBMDBFMDND

That's dope tho fr me speaking Tagalog when not knowing the word in English for fucking real that is so personal to me hgkdndmdn hahahah

Bet tho, both of them would cuss in French or Japanese (Kalosian and Johtonian? In the pkmn universe?) Silver especially, it's true, it's canon, why? Cause I said so

No but the last bit with Iris is so fucking personal what the fuck😭😭 girl I feel you I get you I understand with all that I am can you imagine her delivering a speech or smth and she just fucking stops and goes "...hold on, I'm not dumb, I got this whole shit down, I just forgot the Unovan word for it gimme a sec—"

Then there's Silver being so pissed, screaming out every Kalosian cuss word in the dictionary. Drasna heard and did not approve, got him in the timeout corner.

And just cbmdbd no but me knowing two/three languages and just alternating between those while talking casually imagine that with Iris and Silver cbmdbd like imagine Silver just talking to Gold all "so I was just minding my own goddamn business et puis cet enfoiré est sorti de nulle part, and fucking challenged me, the Kalos Champion, juste pour qui cette salope se prend-elle?!" Gold has never been so confused his entire life but he just nodded along and agreed to whatever the hell Silver said hahaha

[porcupine-girl]

Does anyone know of alternatives to google docs/sheets that allow super-easy sharing and collaboration like they do? I do use LibreOffice as well as Pages on my Mac, but if I want something that's instantly accessible from my phone anywhere, or that I want to be instantly accessible to other people, especially for collaboration but also just for viewing (but that I can keep editing, so not a PDF), I put it in a gdoc or sheet. I would love to stop using them but I just do not know of other alternatives for these things.

I know, for things I want to access myself there's always dropbox and other cloud services. But generally in my experience you have to then open the files in some other app and then get them back into Dropbox, which tbh is enough extra steps to be a pain. Apple's own apps work with iCloud, but a) Numbers is simply not a true spreadsheet app and never will be, it's not even meant to be b) I filled up my free icloud space with my phone/ipad backups years ago. At least it's only $1/month for 50 more gb, but I would still have to constantly battle with my phone/ipad backups to not fill up that 50gb. And Numbers not being a real spreadsheet is a big problem.

And I just have no idea what there is out there that offers a fraction of the ease of sharing that gdocs do when you want to collaborate.

Tl;dr: I would LOVE to leave gdocs/sheets behind, so please rec anything that allows me to easily access docs and real spreadsheets from mobile and desktop, and does collaboration, and does all of it with at least something approaching the seamlessness of google's tools.

Google is going to start scraping all of their platforms to use for AI training. So, here are some alternatives for common Google tools!

Google Chrome -> Firefox

If you’re on tumblr, you’ve probably already been told this a thousand times. But FireFox is an open-source browser which is safe, fast and secure. Basically all other browsers are Chrome reskins. Try Firefox Profilemaker, Arkenfox and Librewolf! Alternatively, vanilla Firefox is alright, but get Ublock Origin, turn off pocket, and get Tabliss.

Google Search -> DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo very rarely tracks or stores your browsing data (though they have only been known to sell this info to Microsoft). Don’t use their browser; only their search engine. Domain visits in their browser get shared. Alternatively, you can also use Ecosia, which is a safe search engine that uses its income to plant trees! 🌲

Google Reverse Image Search -> Tineye

Tineye uses image identification tech rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks to find you the source of your image!

Gmail -> ProtonMail

All data stored on ProtonMail is encrypted, and it boasts self-destructing emails, text search, and a commitment to user privacy. Tutanota is also a good alternative!

Google Docs -> LibreOffice

LibreOffice is free and open-source software, which includes functions like writing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, formula editing and more.

Google Translate -> DeepL

DeepL is notable for its accuracy of translation, and is much better that Google Translate in this regard. It does cost money for unlimited usage, but it will let you translate 500,000 characters per month for free. If this is a dealbreaker, consider checking out the iTranslate app.

Google Forms -> ClickUp

ClickUp comes with a built-in form view, and also has a documents feature, which could make it a good option to take out two birds with one stone.

Google Drive -> Mega

Mega offers a better encryption method than Google Drive, which means it’s more secure.

YouTube -> PeerTube

YouTube is the most difficult to account for, because it has a functional monopoly on long-form video-sharing. That being said, PeerTube is open-source and decentralized. The Internet Archive also has a video section!

However, if you still want access to YouTube’s library, check out NewPipe and LibreTube! NewPipe scrapes YouTube’s API so you can watch YouTube videos without Google collecting your info. LibreTube does the same thing, but instead of using YouTube servers, it uses piped servers, so Google doesn’t even get your IP address. Both of these are free, don’t require sign-ins, and are open source!

Please feel free to drop your favorite alternatives to Google-owned products, too! And, if this topic interests you, consider checking out Glaze as well! It alters your artwork and photos so that it’s more difficult to use to train AI with! ⭐️

Another day, another headcanon history of my cursed world at the Euro 2020.

As you see at the image, what we're going to talk about is something that the "competition" somehow returns: Greedent and Morpeko rivalry.

Although we didn't get enough of this rivalry enough cuz... JN... *chuckles* there was a KINDA lore about this:

Russia was participated in the Euro 2020, right? (if you ever saw my previous post about the 3rd anniversary of this Kira comic) Well... if you discovered how CURSED this language detector was from 2010 to early 2022 (if I get this right cuz I need information for this language detector thing...) Skwovet was RUSSIAN!

Now some Google Translates have fun with the original pronunciation of those names (take an example of Daniel or Elevenlabs), just like Dedenne which its original pronunciation, DEH-den, is Danish. (excluding Minun since Minun means "my" in Finnish).

Now 5% of Russians joined the protest (i have a protest about it lol) because of Skwovet being Russian. They were some voice of concerns, Pop Team Epic's Pokémon collaboration...AND THE WORST PART? Putin invades Ukraine because he doesn't want Ukraine to join the NATO!

James's Morpeko was in charge of commiting war crimes in other countries because this Pokémon's language detector was in Russia. THEN, they're not guilty cuz 2022 change of the language detector.

This was THE craziest stories ever told by me.

C'ya! 😃
