Any Google Translate live camera feed alternatives? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys!

I'm setting up a recently wiped phone, and just finding out that in order to use gTranslate, not only you need the app Google Translate, you ALSO need the app Lens, with its own permissions, and then ALSO force feeds you the app Google. Is there a way to avoid this? Or an alternative that allows live image translation (from Chinese if possible) from what the camera is seeing? As, for a travel trip, so I can read signs and texts on the street.

Thanks!

Apple Translate is pretty decent if your language(s) of choice is/are supported.

Not using apple devices, sadly.
