On these lines, the best option I’m aware of is the relatively new Mozilla Translate: https://github.com/mozilla/translate

I don’t think it’s been packaged for Guix yet, but I don’t know of any reason why it couldn’t be. The front-end demonstrated at https://mozilla.github.io/translate downloads language support files on-demand, but I think it could be patched to also package the models. Language support is not comprehensive, but it does include Polish.

Some of the underlying work is grouped under the Bergamot project: https://browser.mt Much of the substantive source code seems to be at: https://github.com/browsermt/bergamot-translator I think it would be easy (but I haven’t tried) to write a front-end in GTK, Qt, or similar instead of the HTML+JS front-end.
