Neither do I know any particularly good tool. There was some work on
libre machine-learning-based translation engines, but the last time I
checked, none of them was actually usable to me - none supported Polish
and all had deps that were not available from APT (I was not yet using
Guix at that time).

You might have more luck than I did. But if you don't, you might
instead want to search for libre CAT (Computer Assisted Translation)
tools. Those are different from translators like Deepl and Google
Translate, they won't do the entire work for you. But they might be the
best way to go if you want to become independent of the proprietary
services.

Unfortunately, I don't myself know any particular libre CAT software
that I could recommend. I merely know such things exist

Good luck!
