JAKARTA - In January 2019, Mozilla joined forces with the University of Edinburgh, Charles University, the University of Sheffield, and the University of Tartu as part of a project funded by the European Union called Project Bergamot. This project is intended to add and improve client-side machine translation in web browsers.
In a blog that Mozilla shared on Thursday, June 2, as part of the Bergamot project, Mozilla is rolling out the Firefox Translations add-on feature for its users around the world.
The ultimate goal of this project is to develop a neural engine tool that allows Mozilla to translate offline.
"Engines, language models and in-page translation algorithms must reside and run entirely on the user's computer. So, no data will be sent to the cloud, making it completely private," Mozilla said on its blog.
Mozilla also said that there are two new features that should be introduced, namely the formulation translation feature, and the translation quality estimation feature.
This form translation feature or "translations of form" allows users to enter text in their own language that is dynamically translated on the fly to the page language.

While the translation quality estimation feature or "quality estimation of the translations", which allows the machine to automatically notify users of errors that have potential errors.
Add-on translations are now available in the Firefox Add-On store for installation in Firefox Nightly, Beta, and for general release.
"We're looking for user feedback and in the add-on, you'll see a button to fill out a survey (on the Mozilla blog) that will help Project Bergamot collaborators understand which direction we should take the product," Mozilla said.
The English, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and French versions are automatically generated by the AI. So there may still be inaccuracies in translating, please always see Indonesian as our main language. (system supported by DigitalSiber.id)
