Is it local or cloud-based?

it’s local (see the addon that it was based on: addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/…/firefox-translations/)

Local, that’s what’s so rad about it!

moon,

I’m hoping their translation software ends up supporting Chinese/Japanese. Also come to Android please! Hopefully on Android in and out of reader mode.

brie,

The addon version works on Android.. There’s an issue/“idea” for Chinese support as well. If I recall correctly, though, one of the problems is tokenization (the languages currently supported for example have spaces to separate words).

moon,

Doesn’t seem to be compatible with my Firefox Android? I’m on the stable branch. Currently I’m using the TWP - Translate Web Pages extension, which has great integration with Firefox Android and pops up correctly in a mobile format when it detects another language. Unfortunately it uses Google translate, so it’s not local.

I would dig this, I’d bet it’s in the works. Biggest question is when it’ll be released.

EccTM,

I wish they’d remove the US-only geo-restriction they have on half the autofill functionality.

Isn't that due to stricter data collection/retention regulations in the EU?

Vincent,

I think it's just because some things have country-specific formats. For example, if you want to prefill credit card details, you have to figure out how the credit card fields are labelled.

The feature is a privacy nightmare. I wish it was done locally.

Edit: it is

At least they are self aware.

It is done locally

mik,

I think it is translated locally.

Oh that is pretty cool
