I’m looking for a robust translation app that respect privacy and doesn’t collect user data or send text to servers.
I’ve tried a few options, but I’d like to hear about your experiences: What do you actually use?
Thanks in advance 🙏

For pages and documents, Firefox does it locally by using a small model for each language you can download once. Which is great and private.
If you want to type something an get it the translation, perhaps DeepL, but your text is sent to their server, which is not great.
There is an open source translation app that uses the same translation models in Firefox:
https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.davidv.translator/
It can translate text, documents and images
And, as several others mentioned, these same models can be downloaded in an offline app called offline translator in fdroid.
