if you need a language they haven't developed a production model for yet, you can install the beta version of the add-on, which supports more languages

… and it’s done locally, unlike the chrome version which uses googles servers.

Some of us handle sensitive content that must not be uploaded to Google.


Oh nice! Good to see they are working on it. Unfortunately it's only for 8 European languages to far, and the beta version only adds 4 more.

I need Vietnamese. I guess I will have to wait another few years for that. But still, it's progress.

I wonder if they will add the option for cloud providers. While I love the idea of the added privacy of doing it locally, pretty much everything I'm translating is publically available so privacy is not important to make compared to the quality of the translation.


I really hope it's getting to mobile Firefox soon.
