Attached: 1 image Whoa! I just noticed in #firefox Nightly that if I right-click on some text, I can choose to translate the selection. Neat! This is powered by Firefox's local translation mechanism, which doesn't ever send the text being translated out over the network. The translation all happens on your machine.

    It’s also local to your device and doesn’t get sent anywhere as I understand it. Firefox is such a boss.

      it supports translating whole pages currently, its hidden in the hamburger menu though and doesn’t support all languages

      it’s available in the current stable version, just behind an about:config flag, will edit this one later on with the one when I get the time to get back on my machine

      edit: took a while but I believe it’s browser.translations.select.enable that enables it
