Currently digging into a lot of foreign websites and am wondering what the best and most private way to translate a whole screen is. I use linux.
Doesn’t Firefox natively offer translations?
I often visit sires with Portuguese, Japanese and Swedish content and the browser offers to translate everything to English.
As far as I am aware, the translation happens locally.
It does, and it works quite fine. :-)
Well Firefox recently integrated a full webpage translation, fully done local on your system. It works pretty well in my experience.
This. It’s slightly worse than Google Translate in my experience, but definitely usable and much better from a privacy perspective.
unfortunately bergamot has been really bad with chinese for me

It’s been awhile but I have liked using this since its European and has been tested with my buddy’s Argentine girlfriend about accuracy and a few of my discord buddy’s from Kuwait. https://support.deepl.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407580229522-Translate-with-the-browser-extensions
This is a proprietary extension for a proprietary “service as a software substitute” program living on someone else’s computer. It’s about the furthest from free software/open source as you can get
