The Mozilla Firefox 118 web browser is now available for download ahead of its official release on September 26th, when it will be rolling out to various of the supported platforms.

I consider Firefox 118 a major release because it finally brings the built-in translation feature for websites. Previously planned for Firefox 117, the new translation feature will let you automatically translate websites from one of the supported languages to another.

The translation feature can be accessed from a new “Translate page” menu entry in the application menu (the hamburger menu on the far right side of the window). When clicked, a pop-up dialog will open in place to let you choose the languages you want to translate from and to.

No its a feature in Firefox. A firefox button you can press to translate the website. I played with it this morning and it's pretty cool. Animates the text as it is being translated, without sending the data anywhere.

I know

I am saying that google is already in business of scanning websites, so sending another website to Google is like throwing a bucket of water in the ocean.

Of course it depends what else gets sent along, so it's always better to run locally
