Description

### Problem I have

It seems like Phanpy uses a 3rd party API end-point for translation of posts. This is not immediately clear, especially when the Mastodon or Akkoma instance actually specifies a translation endpoint already.

Also this is a privacy concern for those explicitly self-hosting both Phanpy and a LibreTranslate instance to avoid sending user-data to 3rd party APIs.

### Solution I'd like

If the Mastodon or Akkoma instance already specifies an translation service, then this should be also used by Phanpy.

### Alternatives considered

There could also be a custom setting to specify an API endpoint directly.

### Other

Thanks for considering this!
