Wow. Thank you for sharing this on-device #translation #Firefox capability.

I see why you want this to be an option in #thunderbird! Personally I hope #SelfHosted translation comes to #openSource #messaging and #documentSharing platforms like #nextcloud too.

Side-by-side raw and translated words would be a neat option too.

If you're at #Mozfest this week, come say hi to some of our volunteers.

We'll be in the Garden of Movement Building (top left corner of Emergent Encounters > The Gardens, Spacial Chat) Friday at 10:00 EDT to meet folks and run through a small activity surfacing some considerations the #translation of #science
