Thank you, CTOnews.com netizen Gin Ke, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com Sept. 26, Mozilla officially released the Firefox 118browser today, finally introducing the local translation function. This feature was originally planned to be introduced in Firefox 117 and can automatically translate specified websites into another language.

CTOnews.com test shows that the translation function in Firefox 118 browser does not support Chinese, cannot translate Chinese into other languages, and does not support translation from other languages into Chinese.

Users visit any page and can choose to translate in the pop-up dialog box by clicking the translation icon on the address bar or by selecting the "translate Page" option from the menu.

Mozilla said that the whole translation process was done locally, so the test found that the translation speed was not fast.

Update log:

New function

Firefox users can now automatically translate web content. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, translation is done locally in Firefox, so the translated text does not leave your machine.

Network audio in Firefox can now use the FDLIBM math library on all systems, improving anonymity through fingerprint protection.

The visibility of website fonts has been limited to system fonts and language pack fonts to reduce font fingerprints in private browsing windows.

Firefox users can now use video special effects and background blur on Google Meet! (note: these special effects have also been released retroactively to support previous versions of Firefox 115).

Firefox Suggest users (currently in the United States only) can now see keyword-based browser add-on recommendations in the address bar.

Fixed

All kinds of security fixes.

Network development platform

Ten new CSS mathematical functions are added: round, mod, rem, pow, sqrt, hypot, log, exp, abs, sign.

OpaqueResponseBlocking is now enabled by default.

Developers can find development-related changes in Firefox 118.0 on a special page. Policy updates and enterprise-specific bug fixes are provided in the Firefox for Enterprise 118 release notes.
