For simple things, the local translation in Firefox has been more than enough. Go to about:translations. It’s pretty limited compared to Google’s frankly impressive language list but I’ve used it almost exclusively since it’s added the languages I need to translate most frequently.

Just a tip: this app implements the same offline translator from Firefox, and it allows also

OCR detection and translator on picture
translation of selected text in any app

That all looks good, but I wanted to specifically mention the most simple barebones and decent option that’s already included in software more of us use. I’d think if we’re installing more things we would be looking at something more powerful.
