Anyone else excited for Firefox Translations?
So if you didn't know, Firefox is getting a privacy-based translator which is simply called Firefox Translations or Bergamot. Currently, it's only in testing phase and available on Nightly and only supports 3 types of language translations.
-
Any clear instructions to enable translation/project Bergamot?
Instructions to install are here
- I would love to use Firefox, but there is a basic aspect that prevents me

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:

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.

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.
