Reading websites written in other languages is made MUCH easier in the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, which rolls out across all supported platforms
I like it a lot. The fact that it translates entirely on my machine, without revealing to some corporation what I’m translating, is indeed a killer feature.
(Now if only we could link headlines that state the key information instead of baiting people into clicks.)
Yeah, my big corporation won’t let us use 3rd party big corporations for translations, only our own tool. I assume we know the kind of shit we use the data for, and assume others are just as bad.
It is. But the big plus is it’s offline translation, without sending data through network (for privacy concerns and for quick operation). Edit: Oh, just got what you meant. The article title is not descriptive enough. I agree.
Purposefully not descriptive enough. People do it on the R site too even though there’s no real benefit or way to see that you’re getting people to click through.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
The feature is translation. Just say that, OMGUbuntu.

I swear, we need a version of r/savedyouaclick on Lemmy at some point.
Also, I thought this feature was already released? I’ve been using it for the better half of this year.

That is nice!
Thank you, was hoping there was a “very tl;dr” in the comments.
