Feature Description
Implement an offline mode for the GlobalBridge feature within the private-gpt project. This enhancement will allow users to perform basic text and voice translations without internet connectivity. Key tasks:
- Preload essential phrase packs for each supported language locally, focusing on high-frequency phrases (greetings, emergencies, directions, dining, travel).
- Integrate lightweight, open-source translation models (e.g., MarianMT, M2M100, or TFLite-based models) for on-device translation, prioritizing 10 MVP languages.
- Bundle local speech-to-text and text-to-speech engines (such as Vosk, PocketSphinx for STT; Flite for TTS) for offline voice conversion, limited to core languages and essential phrases.
- Develop a UI element that indicates offline mode and restricts unsupported features.
- Users can search and use preloaded phrase packs and conduct basic translations via text and voice while offline.
- Allow selective downloads of additional offline packs and periodic updates when online.

Many users need reliable translation capabilities in areas with limited or no connectivity. Offline mode ensures accessibility and usability of translation features in travel, emergency, or remote scenarios.
Value of Feature
Enabling offline translation will improve user experience, accessibility, and inclusivity, making the app more valuable for travelers, expatriates, and users in low-connectivity environments. It supports the project’s vision of seamless global communication.
