Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

This is the only reason why I'm still using a third-party translate extension...

We are planning to start working on Korean in the second half of 2024.

Hello!

I just wanted to update everyone that our team has started work on supporting Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (commonly abbreviated as CJK), both in terms of training these language models and ensuring that our platform can support these character sets.

We appreciate your patience and thank you for your continued support!

This is being worked on — see @nordzilla's recent comment in the thread for more details.

As always, please feel free to continue sharing feedback and stay tuned for more updates 🙌

We are making progress. We have an experimental translation model from Korean to English in Firefox Nightly, and we are working both on the other direction (English -> Korean) and on improvements to this model.

I am happy to announce that starting in Firefox 135, which released yesterday, we now support translations from Korean.

This is only available on Firefox for Desktop at the moment. We are still working hard to improve some performance considerations before releasing this model on Firefox for Android. 

However, if you would like to try it out on Android, you can do so in the Firefox Beta or Firefox Nightly applications available from the Google Play Store.

We are also working hard to add support for translations into Korean.

Thank you all for your continued support.
