Mozilla releases local machine translation tools as part of Project Bergamot

• bergamot-translator

  31 299 6.4 C++

  Cross platform C++ library focusing on optimized machine translation on the consumer-grade device.

  

A fork of marian-dev[1] is the underlying machine-translation engine:

- https://github.com/browsermt/marian-dev

Development of higher-level code wrapping around marian-dev make suitable for the browser-extension happens at:

- https://github.com/browsermt/bergamot-translator

Some of the WebAssembly optimizations are available in bergamot-translator/marian-dev. Rest are in Firefox source-code. A start point could be https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1720747.

Extension code is open-source, and linked already in other comments:

• firefox-translations

  39 577 0.0 JavaScript

  Discontinued Firefox Translations is a webextension that enables client side translations for web browsers.

  

Thanks to you for giving the extension a try! This is a very interesting feature, and I'd like to consider it. Would you mind filing an issue in the repo so we could track and discuss it here [1]?

  Fast Neural Machine Translation in C++ - development repository

  

You can find the engine used here [1], the API built around it here [2] and its WASM port here [3] and the WebAssembly matrix multiplication optimizations are here [4]

  2 132 9.1 Python

  Training pipelines for Firefox Translations neural machine translation models

  

The training pipeline is also on Github! [1]

I was experimenting with running the wasm version of bergamot-translator (the translation engine used by the addon) in node [2].

However, if you want more performance, using the Python library [3] or the native C++ interface [4] gets you further.

• translation-service

  1 20 3.6 C++

  This is the repo that hosts the code for Mozilla's translation service

  

I'm not aware of any actively maintained projects that give you this out of the box, but these two could be starting points for such a project.

Mozilla implemented a REST service based on (an earlier version of) bergamot-translator [1]. You could use that as a replacement for the WASM component in the addon's code.

I also know of some full-page translation demo code that uses the python bindings of bergamot-translator [2]. That's basically a web proxy a la Goole Translate.

Lastly, marian, the translation software that's being used, has a web server as well [3]. It does not support HTML though.

Sure, like I mentioned in the article, you can embed the engine and the models in any web page to be run in a browser with proper WebAssembly and SIMD support.

You can have an example on how we did here [1] and test it here (I recommend using Firefox) [2]

That way you don't need a server and everything is processed in the browser, so no need of google translate, or any cloud service to have translations embedded in any website anymore.
