Is there an open-source screen translator for Android that isn’t made by Google? (lemmy.ml)

I’m looking for an app that can translate text directly on my Android screen without using Google Translate.

Ideally, I’d like something that:

is open source has no ads works offline or sends as little data as possible.

can translate a selected area of the screen, including text in apps and games.

I found a few options, such as Offline Translator and Screen Translate, but I’d like to know whether anyone here recommends either of them or knows of a better alternative.

I'm pretty sure that "failed to verify" means that after it downloads, it scans the file to make sure it exactly matches what was expected. There might have been an error in transmission causing something to not match, or the source you downloaded from could have a different copy.

I just tried it on my phone, and it installed fine. Try downloading it again.

In the settings, my repositories are -FUTO: (app.futo.org/fdroid/repo) -F-Droid: (f-droid.org/repo)

and that's it. Is that what you have as well?
