Firefox 117 Release Adds Automated Translation Feature Support
|
||||
======
|
||||
Firefox 117 release brings along necessary improvements and a new
|
||||
feature support for the upcoming upgrade.
|
||||
Firefox is a browser loved by many, hated by few. But, as **an open-source alternative to Chromium-based browsers** such as Chrome and Opera, it constantly evolves to add new features to its arsenal.
|
||||
|
||||
And this time around, with the **Firefox 117** release, we have an interesting addition that was in the making for quite some time now.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Allow me to take you through that, and more in this article. Let's begin.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🆕 Firefox 117: What's New?
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Like most Firefox releases, this too has a lot to offer. Some notable highlights include:
|
||||
|
||||
* **New privacy-focused native translation feature** ( _a work in progress_ )
|
||||
* **Expansion of the credit card autofill feature to more locales.**
|
||||
* **YouTube video lists now scroll correctly with a screen reader.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
While the feature set sounds good, let us focus on the translation feature.
|
||||
|
||||
### Privacy-Focused Translations

As shown in the demo above, Firefox now features an in-built translation tool.
|
||||
|
||||
Its main selling point is that **all language translations happen locally** , without your data being sent to any server for processing.
|
||||
|
||||
This kind of functionality already existed in Firefox thanks to an add-on called '[Firefox Translations][3]'.
|
||||
|
||||
But, [back then][4], integrating this directly into Firefox was discarded owing to its third-party dependencies after Mozilla's internal security review of the engine codebase.
|
||||
|
||||
Luckily, now we have proper native functionality. **But, there's a catch.**
|
||||
|
||||
🚧
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to [Ghack][5], I found that **the translation feature was disabled by default on Firefox 117. They plan to gradually roll it out to users, and by default on its next version update**.
|
||||
|
||||
So, to test it out, I had to manually enable it by going into ' **about:config** ', then enabling the 'b **rowser.translations.enable** ' flag among advanced preferences.

||||

### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
Other than that, here are a few other changes that are worth noting:
|
||||
|
||||
* Various security updates.
|
||||
* macOS users can now control the tabability of controls and links.
|
||||
* Web compatibility inspection has been enhanced for their new CSS compatibility tooltip. (useful for web developers)
|
||||
* A new preference to allow for the disabling of the context menu that appears when pressing shift+right-click.
