Development

3rd party dependencies

The extension does not utilize any npm modules, and the only vendored dependencies within are:

  • Bergamot Translator

    • A WebAssembly wrapper around the actual Neural Machine Translator, Marian. The code to build the WASM module can be found on its repository
  • Fasttext

    • We bundle the WebAssembly port of fasttext along its compressed model in order to detect the page's language. Instructions to build the WebAssembly module can be found here
  • Sentry

  • serialize-error

    • code of serialize-error npm package is bundled for serialization of exceptions to report errors from content scripts to background script

How to run

  • Install Firefox Nightly
  • Clone this repo and run npm install
  • Run npm run once and wait until Nightly starts
  • Go to about:config and set extensions.experiments.enabled to true
  • Browse to a page in any of the supported languages to have the translation option to appear
