The Firefox Translations extension ( kbin.social )

Just wanted to write down my appreciation for the "Firefox Translations" extension and make people who might find it useful, but missed its announcement, aware of it.

For the people who haven’t heard about Firefox Translations it does local translation from one language to another.
Works on the entire page or just whatever you select.

Not having to offload the task to say google translate or some other company is a great win for privacy and anti-tracking.
It is yet another reason why I’m still on Firefox all these years later.
On any other browser(vast vast majority) this would be online and data mined.

It can’t compete with google translate on number of languages right now, but for a lot of people I’d imagine it’s pretty useful in its current state.
Hopefully additional languages will be added with time.

More information about it here if you want to know more.
