You can see the code of extensions, but it may be minimized, so it hard to known what the code do.
Extensions with label “Recommended” are pass the manual review of Firefox moderators, so you can trust them more than addons with no this label. However you still should keep in mind that any extension developer may be victim of complex scam attack.
The most probable reason usually is a not enough funding the developers
To minimize the possibility of hijacking addons by scammers, we have to:
Haha, actually it’s my bad, not a Linguist 😀
I’m not a native speaker, i still learn the language, but you can edit a post text on a github https://github.com/vitonsky/blog/blob/master/posts/2023/july/linguist/2023-07-13-linguist.md i would appreciate it

Yes, the links you needs:
A LibreTranslate may download a gigabytes data once, to get AI models for all language directions, then translation will runs on your computer
You can make a language request in a issues of repository https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations-models/
You’re right, resources are limited and a new languages appears not so fast as we wants. Maybe Chinese developers will collaborate and release their own models for a Bergamot. Work with community are important to achieve the goal when we want to unify translation.
If you really needs to be private for now, you can try to deploy your own offline translation server locally (e.g. with a https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate) and use this translator with Linguist as a custom translator.
It’s good question. If a Mozilla people interesting for it - feel free to email me. As i know, for now a firefox translator is just a wrapper over Bergamot Translator while time a Linguist is a common purpose translation system for all major browsers, that embedded a Bergamot Translator as one of a great translator implementations.
For now Linguist had no reviews by influencers and it did not appears on reviews of a firefox addons blog unlike some other addons like proprietary Mate translate and open source TWP - Translate Web Pages. If we together make Linguist visible for a wide people, maybe Mozilla will pay attention for a Linguist too and we can integrate Linguist into a Firefox with all features it have
Thank you! Share it with your friends if you like it. The people who improve their productivity so much to share it with their friends are motivates me a lot!
For now an embedded Bergamot Translator module does not support a Korean language, but thanks for your comment, i work on addding a new languages and your comment useful to demonstrate the importance a wide languages support.
With time a Korean language will supported, for now you can try to use a https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate as a Linguist custom translator (https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist/blob/master/docs/CustomTranslator.md). It will takes a time to configure your environment, but as result you can deploy a big AI model for text translation on your PC and use it with a Linguist if the private translation the key feature you needs for the Korean language
If you don’t try, you won’t know 😉
Thank you too 👍
