San Francisco: Mozilla<\/a>, the firm behind the popular web browser Firefox, has added translation tools to Firefox that do not rely on cloud processing to do its work.
The company has also rolled out other features that are aimed to make users' experiences better.
\"In January of 2019, Mozilla<\/a> joined the University of Edinburgh, Charles University, University of Sheffield and University of Tartu as part of a project funded by the European Union called Project Bergamot,\" the company said in a blogpost.
\"The ultimate goal of this consortium was to build a set of neural machine translation tools that would enable Mozilla to develop a website translation add-on that operates locally, i.e. the engines, language models and in-page translation algorithms would need to reside and be executed entirely in the user's computer, so none of the data would be sent to the cloud, making it entirely private,\" it added.
In addition to that, two novel features needed to be introduced.
The first is a translation of forms, to allow users to input text in their own language that is dynamically translated on-the-fly to the page's language.
The second feature is a quality estimation of the translations<\/a> where low confidence translations<\/a> should be automatically highlighted on the page, to notify the user of potential errors.
\"This set of requirements posed several technological challenges to the team: the translation engine was entirely written in programming languages that compile to native code,\" the company said.
\"We needed a way to streamline the distribution of the project to avoid the overhead involved in providing builds compatible with all platforms supported by Firefox a\" that would be impracticable to scale and maintain,\" it added.
Mozilla said that its solution to that was to develop a high-level API<\/a> around the machine translation engine, port it to WebAssembly, and optimize the operations for matrix multiplication to run efficiently on CPUs.
\"That enabled us to not only develop the translations add-on but also allowed every web page to integrate local machine translation, like in this website, which lets the user perform free-form translations without using the cloud,\" the company said.
The translations add-on is now available in the Firefox Add-On store for installation on Firefox Nightly<\/a>, Beta<\/a> and in General Release.

旧金山:Mozilla流行的web浏览器Firefox背后的公司,翻译工具添加到Firefox,不依赖于云处理来完成工作。
该公司还推出了其他特性,目的是为了让用户的体验更好。
”2019年1月,Mozilla加入了爱丁堡大学,查尔斯大学,谢菲尔德大学和塔尔图大学由欧盟资助的一个项目叫做项目佛手柑,”该公司在博文中说。
“本财团的终极目标是建立一套神经机器翻译工具,将使Mozilla开发一个网站翻译插件,在本地运行,即发动机、语言模型和页内翻译算法需要驻留和执行完全在用户的电脑,所以没有数据发送到云,使它完全私有的,”它补充道。
除此之外,需要引入两个新颖特性。
首先是一个翻译的形式,允许用户输入文本的语言动态动态页面的语言翻译。
第二个特点是质量的估计翻译在信心不足翻译应该自动突出显示在页面上,通知用户潜在的错误。
“这组需求提出了一些技术挑战团队:翻译引擎是完全用编程语言编写的编译原生代码,”该公司表示。
“我们需要一种方法来简化项目的分布,以避免开销提供兼容Firefox支持的所有平台构建一个“规模和维护是行不通的,”它补充道。
Mozilla表示,其解决方案是开发一个高层API在机器翻译引擎,港口WebAssembly,矩阵乘法和优化操作有效的cpu上运行。
”,使我们不仅发展翻译插件还允许每个web页面整合本地机器翻译,就像在这个网站,它可以让用户执行自由翻译不使用云计算,”该公司表示。
翻译插件现在可以在火狐插件存储安装Firefox每晚,β和一般发布。
