Alternative app to Google Translate for translating text from images? (sopuli.xyz)

Are there any FOSS phone apps/ private alternatives for Google Translate for translating text from images? Or maybe a privacy-friendly alternative front-end for GT? The ability to translate from images (such as product labels in a store) is the main feature I'm looking for. TIA for any and all tips.

Mozilla just launched their privacy focused translation plugin not long ago: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/translate/

Thank you. I've tried it on desktop and I like it. I'm looking for a phone app for this use case (such as translating product labels when shopping).
