I was thinking about a website/app that uses Google Translate API, but saves each result to its own database, so that every time anyone uses it, we slowly build an alternative together.

But I guess to have a properly functioning alternative you would also want to have the code that generates the results?

Related, but slightly different: when I DDG this question I find this post, but I cannot comment on it (because I have to sign in to that instance). But when I then search for this title in the search bar of my instance I don’t find the post?

(I love the idea of Lemmy by the way, and all the people who make it happen).
