Version 130.0 of the Firefox browser has been released. Notable in this release is the addition of a Firefox Labs tab in Firefox Settings. This allows users to easily enable experimental features, such as the ability to translate selected text portions to different languages after a full-page translation, and add an AI chatbot to the sidebar. Firefox 130 also addresses several security issues, adds 11 new languages to its translation support, and more.

Firefox 131 looks like another small update to the popular web browser that further improves the built-in translation feature by remembering languages you have previously used for translations when suggesting a default translation language.

One of the joys of writing about technology is the opportunity to cover interesting talks on open‑source and free‑software topics. One of the pains is creating transcriptions of said talks, or continually referring back to a recording, to be able to write about them. Speech Note is an open-source application that uses machine-learning models, running locally, to translate speech to text and take the pain out of transcription. It also handles text to speech, and language translations. While not perfect, its transcriptions are better than one might expect, even when handling jargon, accents, and less-than-perfect audio.
