I hate my current solution.

I use notification dictionary and dict.cc which is obviously not open source. For me, it takes too long just to translate a word, or look it up. Do you have a great system?

Translate You can be a frontend for LibreTranslate, Lingva (Google Translate), DeepL and more.

I also use dict.cc, the app is the developers source of income so no FOSS possible, but it is trustworthy and good software.

You can download the databases and build an own app in theory. But I dont need that.

I use Aard 2 with Freedict & Wiktionary dictionaries which works pretty well for me: https://github.com/itkach/aard2-android
