Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.
Crow Translate (https://crow-translate.github.io/) is a FOSS multi-platform (Windows and Linux) translation program, distributed under a GPL license.
I haven't tested Crow Translate portability yet but I don't expect it to be natively portable given it's Qt based -- expect the usual Trolltech registry traces -- and absence of mention in the homepage. It is, nevertheless, an interesting software that relies on reputable online engines for translation and, as it claims being able to work from the CLI, it adds something that QTranslate does not.
Crow Translate: a simple and lightweight translator that allows to translate and speak text using Google, Yandex and Bing.

There is already version 2.7.1 and it seems to be portable.
In the program settings you need to check the box: 'Portable mode'
By The Way
• the program works only on x64 systems (Windows, Linux, Linux Debian).
• the program works on x86 and x64 on Linux Red Hat (.rpm)

I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked, to be honest. The OCR recognized the region I threw at it 100% after I downloaded the required Tesseract OCR model for English.
Yes, the speech synthesis requires Internet connection. I tested that. It uses one of the web engines (Google, Bing etc.) to perform the text-to-speech.
Surprisingly, I couldn't find any Trolltech registry traces, so it's pretty clean.

Hi
do you trust about this program?
i mean there are many open source software ,without authors or is impossbile to contact them
and many software open source are spy software like audacity (not the last version) but in a prev version
thanks
Anything that raised your concern about this program in particular?
Firstly, the program is open-source, so you can comb through the source code and compile your own executable if security is important.
Secondly, I don't see the nature of this program as particularly sensitive. It is merely acting as a wrapper for the user to conveniently use cloud-based translation tools. You could just as well fire up your web browser, load up those websites and achieve the same objectives.
hi

it doesn't save the setting in the file settings.ini , and i have tried to enable the portable mode in the preferences without luck
