    Been using a extension for this which unfortunately has to use Google as a backend. Happy to see Mozilla doing this and I cannot wait to have this feature fully implemented

      I’ve been using the Firefox Translations extension that this is probably building on. Also runs entirely in the client.

      Having this built into the browser is going to be a great selling point.

      I have been using Linguist, which is an open source extension that works very well, you can translate a specific text selection or the whole text, and it even has an offline translator (using the Bergamot project).

      That’s a good point. I’m a little concerned about their future finances given most of their money comes from google search being set to default.

      Google keeps FF afloat?

          Ohh I see, had no idea. That does seem like a bit of a conflict.

            It’s where the majority of Mozilla’s funding comes from. Last I checked, the Google deal was responsible for something like 85% of their income.
