Crow Translate is a lightweight C++/Qt desktop translator that translates and speaks text using Google, Yandex, Bing, LibreTranslate, and Lingva APIs. It offers a GUI with global keyboard shortcuts, OCR-based screen translation, a rich CLI, and a D-Bus API, and has migrated under the KDE umbrella.
Use cases
- translate selected text with a hotkey
- translate text from screenshots via OCR
- speak translated text aloud
- translate text from the command line
- use a self-hosted LibreTranslate instance
- bind translation actions to global shortcuts on Linux
When to avoid
- you need a browser-based or mobile translation app
- you require macOS support
- you want a full translation memory or CAT tool
