Hi everyone. I'm launching Linguist Translate, an open-source, full-featured translation solution with an embedded offline translator based on the Bergamot Project created by Mozilla.

Site: https://linguister.io

GitHub: https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist

Today, Linguist is launched on ProductHunt. Support the project who really care about privacy: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/linguist-translate

Linguist is not just a wrapper over Google Translator like many other extensions. You can use any translation service with Linguist, thanks to custom translators! You may even deploy any machine translation (like LibreTranslate) on your localhost and then add this service to Linguist.

All features are included: text translation, full-page translation, selected text translation, Text-To-Speech, dictionary, history, and even more.

It's good question. If a Mozilla people interesting for it - feel free to email me. As i know, for now a firefox translator is just a wrapper over Bergamot Translator while time a Linguist is a common purpose translation system for all major browsers, that embedded a Bergamot Translator as one of a great translator implementations.

For now Linguist had no reviews by influencers and it did not appears on reviews of a firefox addons blog unlike some other addons like proprietary Mate translate and open source TWP - Translate Web Pages. If we together make Linguist visible for a wide people, maybe Mozilla will pay attention for a Linguist too and we can integrate Linguist into a Firefox with all features it have

Hi, thank you, share it with your friends and colleagues to help Linguist become a mainstream tool for translation and replace a proprietary software who care about make money on product, not about quality and privacy.

For now Linguist no have feature to hide some languages, but recently used languages appears at top of the languages list. I think we have to show a current language (auto detected by text content) at top of languages too, to allow users see recently used languages immediately with no scrolling. For now you can enter language name in a keyboard when you open languages list.

Thanks for your comment, i've created issue to improve https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist/issues/389

For now an embedded Bergamot Translator module does not support a Korean language, but thanks for your comment, i work on addding a new languages and your comment useful to demonstrate the importance a wide languages support.

With time a Korean language will supported, for now you can try to use a https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate as a Linguist custom translator (https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist/blob/master/docs/CustomTranslator.md). It will takes a time to configure your environment, but as result you can deploy a big AI model for text translation on your PC and use it with a Linguist if the private translation the key feature you needs for the Korean language

As i shown in blog post, the BEM power is a code decoupling and features composing ability in a typescript/javascript code. CSS naming strategy is just a small part of BEM. BEM also works great for native mobile applications where CSS does not exist at all
