Definitely, you on the right way 😉

AGPL license. No, thanks

Thank you too 👍

Well, the Linguist is no have any public opinion. You are welcome to use the unique project who care about UX, and don’t care about political views of their users.

Current plugin is just about force use aliases instead of relative paths (and back for deprecated aliases).

If you need to sort imports, you may try rule simple-import-sort/imports from https://github.com/lydell/eslint-plugin-simple-import-sort It is very flexible, so you may customize your own groups. For instance, you may group aliases in one group and relative imports to another group. Check their docs

Could you elaborate your idea.

If i correct understood you, you want to use relative imports inside alias directory. This is possible, you may check test about it https://github.com/vitonsky/eslint-plugin-paths/blob/d5a307866df9cf460a50301820e12e3653eb1cca/src/rules/alias.test.ts#L36-L40

Is it that you need?

Sure, decision logs is just a step to fix a problems with decision making. Logs highlight a problems in decision making process and let you analyze a problems in your team. You still need an strong architect who may say “hey team, why your arguments so weak? it looks you are low skill engineers. make arguments more objective, or you will be fired” and then really fire weak engineers in team.

Exactly! I see how a mindset “we delivered (shit) quickly” successfully reproduces itself, over and over in a lot of companies.

I think the actual reason is that business want to make money on promises right here right now. Business promises a lot of features to investors give money, and then business implement a lot of (shit) features. And then they continue kinda “okay, features broken, give us more money and we will fix it”.

I hope you’re right. The more people will save it, the more chances we have to find the source code later, or even find the community who will maintain the fork.

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

• Developer spend time on maintaining the project but users does not donate them
• Scammers offer to developer some integrations that not looks too suspicious and allow them to earn some money
• Developer agree offer and after some time scammers enables malware to hack extension users

To minimize the possibility of hijacking addons by scammers, we have to:

• conduct background check before install extension
• ensure the extension have github with open source code and developer are real person
• ensure development are active and developer have high engineering skill, check them respond on feedback and issues
• donate the developer if you like the product, to motivate them keep distance of scammers offers

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:

• Linguist docs about custom translators https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist/blob/master/docs/CustomTranslator.md
• Code of custom translator for a LibreTranslate https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist-translators/blob/master/translators/LingvaTranslator.js
• Guide to deploy a LibreTranslate on local machine https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate#install-and-run (or to use with docker: https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate#can-i-use-libretranslate-behind-a-reverse-proxy-like-apache2-or-caddy)

A LibreTranslate may download a gigabytes data once, to get AI models for all language directions, then translation will runs on your computer

If you think a Object Oriented Programming is a framework, then you can think about BEM like a framework too. But a correct word is a methodology. A “framework” have too generic meaning.

Methodology gives us a methods how to improve software quality. This methods like an interfaces in programming that we must implement as programmers

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

Hi, thank you, share it with your friends and colleagues to help Linguist become a mainstream tool for translation and replace a proprietary software who care about make money on product, not about quality and privacy.

For now Linguist no have feature to hide some languages, but recently used languages appears at top of the languages list. I think we have to show a current language (auto detected by text content) at top of languages too, to allow users see recently used languages immediately with no scrolling. For now you can enter language name in a keyboard when you open languages list.

Thanks for your comment, i’ve created issue to improve https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist/issues/389

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 😉
