Lingva Translate

A free, key-less, privacy-friendly front-end to Google Translate quality via a single GET URL.

Lingva Translate is an open-source proxy that surfaces Google Translate results through a clean public API with no trackers, ads, or API key. Translation is a single GET to /api/v1/{source}/{target}/{text} (use 'auto' as source for detection), and /api/v1/languages lists supported codes. Because it proxies Google, output quality is materially better than self-hosted open MT, making it a strong free option for a skill that needs decent translation with zero setup. It is self-hostable too if you want your own instance.
