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.

I've been using this feature as an (official) add-on for a few months:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/
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.
