From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've used the translations extension for awhile now, it definitely needed to be built-in! The fact it's done locally as well is really, really awesome. It would have been way easier for them to not do that, but I'm glad they did for privacy sake. Last few releases were boring but this is a really good one. I wonder if it'll come to Firefox for Android?
Though really hope they add more languages for Firefox translation, it's still pretty limited. Mainly I need Chinese/Japanese translations which seems really common so I'm not sure why it's not on the planned languages.
