Firefox Testing Privacy-Friendly Web Translations
Web page translations are available in the latest beta builds of Mozilla Firefox. Google Chrome's built-in translation capabilities are something I find
Been using a extension for this which unfortunately has to use Google as a backend. Happy to see Mozilla doing this and I cannot wait to have this feature fully implemented
I've been using the Firefox Translations extension that this is probably building on. Also runs entirely in the client.
Having this built into the browser is going to be a great selling point.
I just want a LibreTranslate add-on that I can point to my own server. Surprised that doesn't already exist.
Edit: Oh, it does. Just way down in the search results: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libretranslateclient/
I have been using Linguist, which is an open source extension that works very well, you can translate a specific text selection or the whole text, and it even has an offline translator (using the Bergamot project).
I love Firefox, don't get me wrong, it's my main browser. But it really feels uneasy that they're working hard to get us away from the privacy unfriendly company that keeps Firefox afloat. lol
I imagine they explored dumping Google, but all indicators show they would be on life-support for that decision
