Of the "free as in freedom" options: Wiktionary and patience. DeepL is not FOSS, and I suppose most other similar sites aren't.
FOSS wasn’t a criterion in the OP’s request, but I’m all for FOSS options whenever they’re available. Unfortunately, for now, there aren’t any efficient and reliable tools out there :( I've been desperately waiting for one for the last 15 years.
This is on /c/Foss so I assume the OP was asking about Foss options for translation.
I stopped making assumptions based on logic in this world 😂 That said, I’d love to hear about any good FOSS options too. The main issue with Lemmy is that most discussions only get attention for a short time after being posted — even the OPs vanish first. :(
I've just looked up Wiktionary in Kiwix and it's available to download for offline use too. Just under 8GB.
