Crow Translate

Ah, I didn't know that there was a library for it! Will change it, thank
you.

which is wrong since that's not the default locale on my user.

I never apply QLocale::c(). I see how it could be confusing, but I actually
use it as a special value to apply a system locale here:
https://invent.kde.org/office/crow-translate/-/blob/master/src/settings/appsettings.cpp#L63
(I may need to refactor this part)

By any chance you run a flatpak? If yes, I know about this issue and I am
working on it right now:
https://invent.kde.org/office/crow-translate/-/merge_requests/724.
For some reason it doesn't work when packaged as flatpak, I am
investigating it right now.

Can be self-hosted by anyone. Here is the list of known instances:

Ah, it's a valid concern.
What I tried to say is that it doesn't spy on specific users since data
basically goes through an instance instead of talking to a non-free service
directly.
Would you prefer to add a warning on a first startup?
