Mozilla releases local machine translation tools as part of Project Bergamotįirefox Close To Offering Local Translation Training efficient neural network models for Firefox Translations If you would like to know more about how it works see: I have FF23, which has a few bugs in it, but i still want to be able to read a foreign language site in English. even if it doesn't support as many languages. Im looking for a translator similar to Google translate that translates entire websites to English. In addition the privacy aspects of not needing to access a cloud-based server will make it more attractive than the mainstream alternatives. Many simply cannot do without the ability to read webpages in other languages and as such can't use Firefox - until now. Why is translation so important for Firefox? Quite simply it needs it to compete with Chrome and Edge, which both offer it as standard. Mozilla has also developed a training pipeline to allow enthusiasts in the community to easily train new models, helping expand the add-on reach to more languages. Mozilla is looking for users’ feedback and the add-on includes a survey that will help Project Bergamot collaborators determine the future direction of the product. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, translation is done locally, on the client-side, so that the text being translated does not leave your machine. Firefox Translations provides automated translation of web content. Now Mozilla has announced the its translations add-on is now available in the Firefox Add-On store for installation on Firefox Nightly, Beta and in General Release. Last year we reported on the ability to translate from Spanish and Estonian to English and vice versa, and from English to German being introduced into Firefox Nightly. In 2019 Mozilla partnered with the University of Edinburgh, Charles University in Prague, the University of Sheffield and University of Tartu in Project Bergamot, a research project funded by the European Union. Given it's emphasis on trust and privacy and data protection Mozilla wanted a solution that would work locally on the user’s machine, ensuring that no data leaves the user’s computer for the purpose of translation. Whereas Chrome and Edge have integrated translation facilities, these rely on cloud-based translation services and require that webpage content be transmitted to a third party for translation. This is the latest development of the ongoing Project Bergamot, which is building machine translation tools to enable Mozilla to offer website translation that operates locally so that no data is sent to the cloud. Mozilla has released the Firefox Translations add-on which lets you translate websites in Firefox without using the cloud. Firefox Add-On For Local Private Translation
