Idealistic about chat-translator HOT 2 OPEN

This was a bit of a long winded way to say you want a free translation service that doesn't depend on GCP. I hear your complaint - GCP was already somewhat hard to get past RuneLite's developers since they feared complication with Google (no one wants a conflict with Google).

I took this route because Google gives better translation services, without question. I would be fine with an acceptable translation service but almost none are free. It is possible to run a NLP translation server locally, but it typically is computationally costly, has poor translation, and doesn't receive updates. I'd have to see evidence to substantiate "good enough" support with such an option.

Forgot to mention running a community based NLP server is somewhat out of question, and I saw very low return on the donation link included with the plugin to afford such, unfortunately.
