Fast and secure translation on your local machine with a GUI
Interestingly, I think this is actually related to the offline translation features built into Firefox. Both are products of "Project Bergamot", but the Mozilla-maintained version was later merged into the Firefox application:

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/06/training-efficient-neural-...
https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/t...
Extra webpage with screenshot and links, impossible to search for normally:
https://translatelocally.com/downloads/
Does one thing and does it well.
Oh— For downloading models, it's much easier to pipe/`xargs` `translateLocally --available-models` into `translateLocally -d` than go through the GUI.

Other self-hostable translation tools:
https://www.apertium.org/index.eng.html
- Traditional rule-based translation. Seems to work pretty well, but no good desktop frontend.
https://www.argosopentech.com/
- Works, but crashy desktop app.
https://libretranslate.com/
- API wrapping Argos Translate.
https://lingva.thedaviddelta.com/
- Google Translate scraper/privacy frontend.
https://euroglot.com/
- Proprietary, subscription trialware.

The state imposes Google (or Apple) on me
Consider a free software alternative to this translation service, such as Argos Translate or its web based frontend LibreTranslate.

LibreTranslate (which uses Argos Translate) from my understanding, but I don't think it can be used to translate entire websites

Setting VNC resolution MacOS
I'm trying to upload a Mac app to the App Store and need to take screenshots at 1280x800, 1440x900, 2560x1600, or 2880x1800 resolutions. I'm developing on a Mac Mini connected to a HDMI display and I'm unable to run at any of the required resolutions. I'm currently trying to take the screenshots through VNC using the Mac Mini in headless mode. I have the VNC server running (System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Management) haven't been able to set the resolution. How do you set the resolution when running a Mac in headless mode over VNC?

Are there plans for Firefox Translations to get updates for Japanese and Korean in the future?
You can submit feature requests to this Github repository: Add Japanese Translation.

Firefox told me about the Translations addon, so I thought I'd test it out... I suspect it may need some work.
I reported this to https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations/issues/688

Mozilla Launches Responsible AI Challenge
Mozilla did release DeepSpeech[0] and Firefox Translation[1] (the latter of which they included in Firefox, to offer client-side webpage translations.)
They definitely have fewer resources than OpenAI, and they do not produce SOTA research (their publications have plummeted to 1/year anyway[2]). So the only way for them to make progress is to seek government grants or make challenges like these.
This challenge is unlikely to be profitable for the winning team: the expected value of winnings are likely around $1K when taking into account the probability that another team gets a better rank, but ML research projects are often more expensive (recently, Alpaca spent upwards of $600 on computation alone; and of course pretraining large models is much more expensive). So the main gain will be publicity.
