It depends entirely on the specific model it's using, I guess. I believe the currently list it queries is here: https://translatelocally.com/models.json https://translatelocally.com/models.json …Oddly, I don't actually even have Russian available at all in my desktop install of this. And there is Ukrainian, but only Ukrainian-to-English, so there's also no way that it could even be using another language as a pivot as there aren't any models that output Ukrainian. I guess the website might be using old, known bad models or something? With "English-German tiny", I get "Private maschinelle Übersetzung, läuft lokal auf Ihrem Gerät", and with "English-German base", I get "Private maschinelle Übersetzung, die lokal auf Ihrem Gerät läuft", though I had to type it in lowercase. I'd trust the translation quality enough to read foreign articles in it. Not enough to translate anything meant for anyone else to read…
