I made a shell alias to translate things from French to English, does that count?

    function trans
        llm "Translate \"$argv\" from French to English please"
    end
Llama 3.2:3b is a fine French-English dictionary IMHO.





Is it better than translatelocally? https://translatelocally.com/downloads/ (the same as used in firefox)

It's different. It doesn't always just give one translation but different options. I can do things like give it a phrase and then ask it to break it down. Or give it a word and if its translation doesn't make sense to me ask how it works in the context of a phrase.

llm -c, which continues the previous conversation, is specifically useful for that sort of manipulation.

It's also available from the command line, which I find convenient because I basically always have one open.
