Browser is most used program by me and by most users of internet, so it is important for browser to be high efficient for daily routine. Altough browsers have embedded translation features and exists a lot of browser extensions for translation, all of them have bad quality and absolutely not acceptable for intensive use. This is why i've create Linguist - ultimate browser extension for translation.

    Mozilla has a kinda low key translation extension, too. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/

    Firefox 118 (Beta at least?) also now has translation enabled I think, and it's offloine (Vergamont). It only supports some random languages though. It does support Spanish, but not Russian or Chinese or most languges.

      This extension has Bergamot built in which is local translation. You do have to change the settings though, since it defaults to Google. It also has Yandex translate which I believe is online.

        whats interesting is I think the yandex translate used in the yandex browser is offline, I could be wrong though.
