Us common folks may not have flying cars or jetpacks yet but this shit is pretty dope.

Common Firefox W

Glad to see this has made it into the browser! This has been a 🇪🇺 funded project for years now!

Can we talk about how cool that firefox picture is though?

Yo can I have that picture in high resolution for my desktop wallpaper?

I just realized FF didn’t have a built in translator a week ago. Excited to see it come!

This was prieviously available as an addon/extension. It’s really cool they are able to do this locally, and it works well.

I’ve been using for a few months. Here is my opinion:

• Translation quality is still far from good, but is good enought to be understandable.
• Can’t translate PDF files (hope it could do it in the future, even if that mean reflowing it)
• The extension allowed to keep translating this tab. That’s a future that, in my opinion, would be highly appreciated in the built-in translator (instead of enabling the “always translate”).
• The language choice doesn’t correspond with what I usually need (which is chinese. But I know chinese is notably hard to translate.)
• It seems that translation into french first goes thought a first pass of english translation. While this still produce readable result, targeting english is for now probably the best option (even thought the cost of implementing a new language translation pair doesn’t seems too high, I understand they might prioritise adding more language, at least for now. Actually, I should probably contribute to this myself if I care as much about it)

I’m guessing this isn’t on mobile yet?

The number of languages available is pretty small but I do appreciate them trying to respect users privacy with this feature

This was the last thing I actively used chrome for, time to fully switch over I guess now that I can translate my Russian tracker.

Last time I checked online translators were as shit as 10 years, so I wonder how well this works.
