## What it is
Translate You is a privacy-focused Android translator app built with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Material Design 3. It supports multiple translation engines including self-hostable open-source options like LibreTranslate and proprietary services like DeepL.

## Use cases
- translate text privately on android without trackers
- translate text between more than 150 languages
- translate text from images
- use a self-hosted translation engine like LibreTranslate
- keep a history of past translations
- share text from other apps to translate it

## When to choose
- you want an open-source, ad-free translator on Android
- you prefer self-hostable or privacy-respecting translation engines
- you want Material Design 3 with dark/light themes
- you need image-based translation and history on mobile

## When to avoid
