Find a free one, buy one, or write your own.

Of course there is but you'll have to buy one and install it.

So: one step back. What kind of text is it you want to translate?

Static text in UI - pre-Translate by professional translators
Dynamic text (user entered) translation without 3rd Party - there is no other (simple) way.

No, not really.
Natural language translation is an huge problem - Google Translate does an excellent job, but it still doesn't get it right all the time - and you need huge databases, lots of processing, and some serious programming.
There are some packages that might work: GitHub - keon/awesome-nlp: A curated list of resources dedicated to Natural Language Processing (NLP)[^] but you are going to have to investigate them in some detail yourself!

And its why not possible, can search from dictionary, like many softwares are available by key searching and found the solution but here combining of words and search it..so cant be possible like
dictionary softwares?

No, because it isn't a "one for one" word substitution problem.
When you try approaches like that, you get "Hydraulic ram" translated to "wet sheep" which is ridiculous.
Think about it: English uses one grammar structure, German uses another. Just doing a "word lookup" will not only give you the "wrong" words most of the time, it'll you them order the wrong in give. Which isn't good English, is it? See what I mean.

Yes, Bing and Google want to charge: it is very, very expensive to set up the service, and they want to get some money back!

As far as I know, there's no such thing as a free translator because of the incredibly complex nature of the problem and the amount of programming and data effort required to solve it.
