Crow Translate

Thanks for looking into the app!

Could you elaborate? You mean to use something like FetchContent from CMake?
I use it to bundle icons for Windows since on Windows there are no icon
themes.

Are you running the application from the build directory? If yes, then you
won't have translation because the application expects them to be located
in a system path. I have an application from the latest commit installed
system-wide and translations work.
I can tweak it to make it work from the build directory as well by looking
into the ECMPoQm folder.

All engines use Mozhi which is self-hosted. Yes, it talks to non-free
software engines, but it's similar to Invidious or Piped - all
communication is done through a user-choosed instance.
I'm fine with adding a warning, but I also think that privacy is somewhat
protected.
