Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Just wanted to write down my appreciation for the "Firefox Translations" extension and make people who might find it useful, but missed its announcement, aware of it.

For the people who haven’t heard about Firefox Translations it does local translation from one language to another.
Works on the entire page or just whatever you select.

Not having to offload the task to say google translate or some other company is a great win for privacy and anti-tracking.
It is yet another reason why I’m still on Firefox all these years later.
On any other browser(vast vast majority) this would be online and data mined.

It can’t compete with google translate on number of languages right now, but for a lot of people I’d imagine it’s pretty useful in its current state.
Hopefully additional languages will be added with time.

More information about it here if you want to know more.

This feature is already integrated into Firefox in the Nightly version. I have actually already uninstalled the extension because the built-in version is better.
