Firefox is available in over 90
languages, giving millions of people around the world access to the web in
words they understand. Our community of translators and localizers do this
because they believe that the web belongs to everyone, not just those who speak
a popular tongue.
Extensions
are an important part of the Firefox experience and while there are thousands
of them available to help you customize your Firefox experience, many of them
are only available in English. For our localization volunteers from around the
world, who work tirelessly to create an amazing web experience for as many
people as they can, this would not do. A combination of teams at Mozilla came
together to get nine popular Firefox extensions localized into seven languages.
More than 100 multilingual
Mozillians answered the call to make this happen and submitted more than
100,000 translated words for these extensions using CrowdIn, a localization platform most recently used for Mozilla’s Common Voice project. These translations were
approved by a core team of experienced localizers, who then provided approved
translations to developers involved in the campaign to include in their next
version update.
Now Firefox users around the world
can enjoy the following extensions in Chinese (simplified), Dutch, French,
German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Spanish:
- Adblock for Firefox
- 1-Click Youtube download
- Download Flash and Video
- Greasemonkey
- New Tab Override
- NoScript Security Suite
- Pinterest Save Button
- signTextJS plus
- To Google Translate
While this was limited to a small
group of extensions, we hope to expand this to all interested extension
developers in the near future.
With 2x the speed, built-in privacy
protection and Mozilla behind it, the new Firefox is the better way to browse. Get the new Firefox.
Mozilla is the not-for-profit behind
Firefox, the original alternative browser. We create products and policy to
