Mozilla has announced
the release of a translation plugin for Firefox as part of the Project Bergamot initiative.

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.
