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 is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I’m sure there’s some use cases out there, but that kind of sounds dumb at first. You can use a built-in page translator that translates web pages… without the internet. How are you getting to these pages in the first place then? I’m assuming the appeal is more from the privacy aspect, because it’s not communicating with anyone else to get those translations?
I think the point isn’t that you wouldn’t be connected to the internet, rather that the translator itself isn’t yet another thing that will phone home with all of your data
It’s much faster for one. Google Translate is super slow compared to this and it sometimes refuses to work if the Google overlords think you might be a bot or something.
