   I looked but was unable to find that quote there.

   I looked around and I think one home page is at:   
      
   https://github.com/crow-translate/crow-translate/releases   
      
   and it says at the top of the page:   
      
   "This repository was archived by the owner on Jul 4, 2024. It is now   
   read-only."   
      
   Since the program is from the Ukraine, that's probably understandable.   
      
   Another home page is:   
      
   https://invent.kde.org/office/crow-translate   
      
   where it says:   
   _______________________________________________________________________   
   Multiple translation engines provided by Mozhi (some instances can   
   disable specific engines)*   
   Translate and speak text from screen or selection   
   Highly customizable shortcuts   
   Command-line interface with rich options   
   D-Bus API   
   Cross-platform   
      
   ⚠️ *While Mozhi acts as a proxy to protect your privacy, the third-party   
   services it uses may store and analyze the text you send.   
   _______________________________________________________________________   
      
   If it can use downloaded language packs though, that might make it   
   capable of doing translations while offline.
