Forked from justwolf's "stranslate" which is unmaintained. I will continue to maintain this as long as I continue to use it.

## Description

**stranslate** is a simple shell script that allows you to translate text from your terminal, using a [privacy-friendly backend](https://git.sr.ht/~metalune/simplytranslate_web).

SimplyTranslate can use both Google Translate and LibreTranslate, without compromising your privacy.
