I came across this article about various FOSS tools used by journalists
digging through a data leak:
https://www.icij.org/investigations/luanda-leaks/how-we-mined-more-than-715000-luanda-leaks-records
where they mention using Apertium to avoid sharing sensitive information:
With more than half of the documents written in Portuguese, digging
into the leak was even more challenging – the majority of
journalists working on this project were not fluent in
Portuguese. For security and source-protection reasons, we wanted to
avoid common online machine-translation tools (such as Google
Translate or DeepL) and, instead, have the translation directly
available on Datashare. So we decided to use an open-source piece of
software called Apertium. Our team wrapped Apertium within a
command-line tool that was able to translate any language pair
directly into Datashare. We published the code of this tool on
Github.
Great that we have such free software translation tools available :)
