    I’m hoping their translation software ends up supporting Chinese/Japanese. Also come to Android please! Hopefully on Android in and out of reader mode.

      I would dig this, I’d bet it’s in the works. Biggest question is when it’ll be released.

      The addon version works on Android.. There’s an issue/“idea” for Chinese support as well. If I recall correctly, though, one of the problems is tokenization (the languages currently supported for example have spaces to separate words).

        Doesn’t seem to be compatible with my Firefox Android? I’m on the stable branch. Currently I’m using the TWP - Translate Web Pages extension, which has great integration with Firefox Android and pops up correctly in a mobile format when it detects another language. Unfortunately it uses Google translate, so it’s not local.

    Is it local or cloud-based?

      Local, that’s what’s so rad about it!

      it’s local (see the addon that it was based on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/)

    I wish they’d remove the US-only geo-restriction they have on half the autofill functionality.

      Isn’t that due to stricter data collection/retention regulations in the EU?

        I think it’s just because some things have country-specific formats. For example, if you want to prefill credit card details, you have to figure out how the credit card fields are labelled.

    The feature is a privacy nightmare. I wish it was done locally.

    Edit: it is

      Firefox Translations is an add-on that helps translate websites in Firefox without using the cloud. Additionally, Firefox version 118 introduces a built-in translation feature, allowing you to perform translations locally within your browser, prioritizing your privacy and security. This feature enables you to effortlessly surf the web in your preferred language. For in-depth guidance on utilizing this feature, explore our Firefox built-in fullpage translation guide.

      I think it is translated locally.

        At least they are self aware.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
