New local automatic translation feature debuts: Firefox 117 released

Mozilla has brought a series of anticipated updates in the latest stable version of Firefox 117, the most eye-catching of which is the newly introduced local automatic translation function

According to official disclosures, this version has made important optimizations in terms of user experience. Now users can perform real-time translation at any time while browsing the web by clicking the translate icon on the address bar or selecting the "Translate Page" option in the menu. The launch of this function makes browsing foreign language content more convenient and provides convenience for users’ multilingual communication.

The rewritten content is: A feature of this translation function is that the entire translation process is performed locally. User privacy is protected. While the protection of privacy is appreciated, some tests have shown translation speeds to be relatively slow. In addition, Mozilla has also added a "Translation" area in the settings panel. Users can choose to install offline translation languages, set language preferences, and even set automatic translation settings for specific websites, further improving the personalized user experience

According to my understanding, in this version update, Mozilla made an important decision for Linux users. Firefox 117 removes screen sharing indicator on Wayland systems. The official explanation stated that this decision was based on considerations of poor performance on other platforms. Many mainstream Linux distributions already have their own sharing indicators, so this change is expected to improve the overall experience of Linux users

In addition , Firefox 117 also brings a series of other improvements. For example, credit card autofill has been enhanced, which will provide a more convenient experience for online payments. Developers will also benefit from new developer tool improvements, including the addition of CSS compatibility tooltips and improved CSS nesting capabilities that are enabled by default. These improvements undoubtedly provide developers with more powerful tools to better deal with the increasingly complex web development challenges
