Offline translator added to Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla released a new Firefox Translations extension that adds offline translation functionality to the browser. The company does not expect you to use the browser without a network connection: rather, this is another way to take care of user privacy.

Instead of transferring data to a third-party server, translate and give the final result, as they do cloud solutions from Google and Microsoft, Firefox Translations allows you to translate locally on your computer user.

A local machine learning translator made possible by Project Bergamot. This is an initiative in which Mozilla has teamed up with scientists from around the world to develop machine learning tools and train new models.

In addition to English, Spanish, Bulgarian, Czech, Estonian, German, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian Bokmål and Nynorsk, Persian, Portuguese and Russian are available. This is not much, but it’s not bad for a start - especially considering that the training of language models of other languages ​​\u200b\u200bcontinues, and the list will gradually expand.

To use the new local translator, all you need to do is install the free extension from the Firefox store.
