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.

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.

    Yes, Linguist use Bergamot translator that is embedded in Firefox. But translation in Firefox in beta stage, it does not have a lot of features and does not support a lot of languages yet. Linguist is a full featured translator that support a lot of translation modules and even custom translators provided by users. So Firefox translation is just a subset of features from Linguist, like Firefox ads protection is just a small subset of features from uBlock Origin.

    But Firefox translator are technological breakthrough anyway, so we appreciate it.
