Now Firefox can translate pages on your computer without telling Google, Microsoft, or any other translation company what you\u2019re looking at.<\/p>\n<p>Mozilla has been working with the\u00a0University of Edinburgh, Charles University, University of Sheffield, and University of Tartu for a few years on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/browser.mt\/\">Project Bergamot<\/a>, which aims to build a text translation engine that runs entirely on someone\u2019s computer. That way, no data is ever sent to cloud services, ensuring completely private translation.<\/p>\n<p>Mozilla has now released an extension for Firefox, called Firefox Translations, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> developed through Project Bergamot. It looks more or less like the translation features in Chrome or Edge, with a bar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earing at the top of the page if a different language is detected. However, there are far fewer supported languages than Google Translate: English, Spanish, Estonian, German, Czech, Bulgarian,\u00a0Norwegian Bokm\u00e5l, Portuguese, and\u00a0Italian. Also, some translations are one-way only \u2014 for example, it can convert Norwegian to English, but not the other way around.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 2400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-809209 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/270007.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1350\" data-credittext=\"Mozilla\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Mozilla<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even though there aren\u2019t many supported languages, and the technology has a long way to go before it can stand toe-to-toe with Google Translate (which itself is not perfect), it\u2019s still an impressive achievement. Mozilla said in a blog post, \u201cOur solution to that was to develop a high-level API around the machine translation engine, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/browsermt\/bergamot-translator\/tree\/main\/wasm\">port it to WebAssembly<\/a>, and optimize the operations for matrix multiplication to\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/mozilla\/gecko-dev\/tree\/master\/third_party\/intgemm\">run efficiently on CPUs<\/a>. That enabled us to not only develop the translations add-on but also allowed every web page to integrate local machine translation,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mozilla.github.io\/translate\/\">like in this website<\/a>, which lets the user perform free-form translations without using the cloud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mozilla didn\u2019t mention when, or if, the feature would be integrated into the Firefox browser instead of requiring an extra extension. Still, you can give it a try by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/addon\/firefox-translations\/\">downloading the extension from the Firefox Add-ons repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/mozilla\/local-translation-add-on-project-bergamot\/\">Mozilla Blog<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
