The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet::Mozilla has announced the release of an update to its Firefox browser. In version number 118, users will find a significant innovation - a built-in translator
This was prieviously available as an addon/extension. It’s really cool they are able to do this locally, and it works well.
Us common folks may not have flying cars or jetpacks yet but this shit is pretty dope.
that’s really good news even though I don’t use firefox anymore (sorry vivaldi user) I’m glad firefox is actually improving.
Nothing against Vivaldi, used it a lot since it’s release, but found my way back to Firefox last year since I just couldn’t stand giving Google anymore power over the web market. The less I give Google, the better I feel, but also the better off the web will be. Once again as a company Vivaldi does a fantastic job and their stances on privacy are admirable, but I just can’t support Chromium these days.
I totally understand you that’s the reason I was using Firefox also. but after discovering that their main revenue is from Google and that firefox is basically kept alive BY Google just so they can say that it looks like their supporting different browsers is a big no. Performance and display problems on my phone were really annoying (I was using Mull on my phone and firefox on desktop).
I had to search for it quite a bit to find it. It’s in the (stupid IMO) menu with the three lines, they made to replace the proper menu bar.
But you can visit websites offline, you can self-host but then you already use a language that you understand.
Not necessarily. A lot of great open source web based projects are written in languages that I sure as heck do not understand. This is a great feature for all those cases, as well as the other cases of offlined content.
More importantly, the reason this is being highlighted is because it means your website data isn’t going anywhere off your computer to be translated.
It’s amazing and I hope Chinese and Japanese comes soon. Thank you Firefox.
