The feature is translation. Just say that, OMGUbuntu.
I swear, we need a version of r/savedyouaclick on Lemmy at some point.
Also, I thought this feature was already released? I've been using it for the better half of this year.
I've been using this feature as an (official) add-on for a few months:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/I like it a lot. The fact that it translates entirely on my machine, without revealing to some corporation what I'm translating, is indeed a killer feature.
(Now if only we could link headlines that state the key information instead of baiting people into clicks.)
Better link might be
Still quite limited amount of languages. I wonder if I can follow the addition of languages somewhere
That translation feature looks very promising, meanwhile I've been using https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist which works in a similar way, but the local translation is a bit difficult to set up, so I've been using google translate as the backend.
But it has other cool features which I need, especially the translation of the whole page, which doesn't work with the official google translate addon here in Korea.
One thing I wish any of those could do is to translate text inside of pictures. For some reason in Korea a lot of text is stored in pictures on https://coupang.com especially detailed explanations about the product I want to buy and then I have to use google translate on my phone with the camera to be able to translate.
