I have high hopes for #LibreTranslate and have played around with it a bit. Sadly, at least for Japanese to English, the results are not quite at a quality level where I would use it as my main translation engine.

Really looking forward to what that project might become a few years from now.

A small reminder to owners of small instances. You are free to use our #LibreTranslate api for your Mastodon instance. Simply just warn us by DM. Thank you.
