One page for many translation engines.
November 9, 2026 by

Mozhi is a front end for many translation engines, including Google, DeepL and Reverso.

Use it now: mozhi.ducks.party

Working when we checked on 9 November 2026 (tested from two networks, no bot check). A test translation came back. iPhone 7 (iOS 14): read-aloud audio is MP3.

Checked on 9 November 2026 from two different networks, with the user agent of Safari on iOS 15.8 (the newest system for an iPhone 7). Talk about this guide in the Privacy Enjoyers forum.

What it replaces

Mozhi replaces the Google Translate page. You choose the engine.

  • Several translation engines on one page.
  • A simple address format you can bookmark.

AddressResultNote
mozhi.ducks.partyworks
mozhi.pussthecat.orgworks
mozhi.catsarch.comworksResult differed between the two networks (down / works).

Results: works = a real content page came back; bot check = a short JavaScript check runs before the site opens; loads = the start page opens, but a content page was not confirmed; moved = the address now forwards somewhere else; down = no answer. Public instances change often, so check the project's own instance list too.

How to use it

  1. Open an instance.
  2. Choose the engine and the two languages.
  3. Type or paste the text.

On an iPhone 7 (iOS 15.8, Safari 15.6)

The page works without modern JavaScript. Not yet tested on a real iPhone 7.

What you keep private, and what you do not

The translation engine sees the instance's server instead of you. The instance you choose still sees your IP address and the pages you open, the same as any website does, so pick an operator you trust, or run your own copy. No guide here needs an account or an email address.

Run your own copy

Known problems

  • The README says Reverso sometimes blocks the IP addresses of servers that run Mozhi.
  • mozhi.catsarch.com did not answer once, from one of our two networks.
