This is the sort of AI service that we should be looking for. "Firefox can translate pages on your computer without telling Google, Microsoft, or any other translation company what you're looking at." This is important because it preserves user privacy. The set of languages is limited (and doesn't include French!) but my quick test (illustrated) suggests it performs quite well. Translation is just one of the AI-supported functions we will want to use in the future, and the challenge will be to enable them on personal computers, rather that entrust the function to data-collection and advertising companies.
