近期，Mozilla 积极努力改进 Firefox，以使其在各方面都更强大，例如针对谷歌的 Web 服务提供更强大的 [支持](https://news.itsfoss.com/mozilla-firefox-progress/)，以及之前发布的 [Firefox 117 版本](https://news.itsfoss.com/firefox-117-release/)。


现在，Firefox 的新版本 118 来到了我们面前，它**终于带来了注重隐私保护的原生翻译功能**，无需寻找临时解决方案。


让我们一起深入了解新版本能为我们带来什么。


### ? Firefox 118：有哪些新特性？

和之前的版本一样，Firefox 118 提供了很多新特性，其中一些主要的亮点包括：


* 原生的浏览器翻译
* 谷歌会议的功能增强
* 重要的安全更新


首先，我们会关注到原生的翻译功能，然后再逐一了解其他的特性。


### 原生且内置的翻译功能


经过一段时期的测试后，[Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) 最终获得了**原生支持浏览器内部的翻译功能**。我们在 [Firefox 117 版本](https://news.itsfoss.com/firefox-117-release/) 中测试过这个功能，但并未设置为默认开启。


现在，只需要简单的几次点击就能启动翻译，如同视频中展示的那样。你需要进入汉堡菜单，然后点击 “<ruby> 翻译此页 <rt>  Translate page </rt></ruby>”，选择来源语言和你想要翻译成的语言，然后点击 “<ruby> 翻译 <rt>  Translate </rt></ruby>”。


如果你想返回原文，只需点击地址栏中的翻译图标，再点击 “<ruby> 显示原文 <rt>  Show original </rt></ruby>”。


在我实际使用过程中，**这个功能在处理具有多种语言的网页时有一些问题**，并且不支持从图像或视频中翻译文本。


但是请注意，**翻译工具依然标注为 “Beta” 版本**。我有信心，在未来几个月，开发者将会提供更多更新以改进其功能。


### ?️ 其他的更变与改进


关于其他的底层优化：


* 对于 [谷歌会议](https://apps.google.com/meet/)，Firefox 用户现在可以使用视频特效和背景模糊这类新功能。
* [Firefox 建议](https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-news/firefox-suggest/) 的用户现在将可以在地址栏看到浏览器插件的建议（仅适用于美国用户）。
* 为了防止在隐私浏览窗口中进行字体指纹跟踪，网站上字体的可见性已被限制为仅显示系统字体。
* Firefox 现在使用 [FDLIBM](https://www.netlib.org/fdlibm/readme) 数学库来处理 Web 音频，以提高隐私保护。
* 进行了各种 [安全修补](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2023-41/)。


你还可以浏览官方的 [版本发布说明](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/118.0/releasenotes/)，以更深入地了解一些技术问题。

In recent times, Mozilla seems to be busy improving Firefox in whatever way possible. Take, for instance, [better support](https://news.itsfoss.com/mozilla-firefox-progress/) for Google's web services, or the previous [Firefox 117 release](https://news.itsfoss.com/firefox-117-release/).

And now we have yet another release in the form of the Firefox 118 release, that **finally introduces privacy-focused translations natively**, doing away with the need for workarounds.

Let's dive in and see what this release has to offer.

## 🆕 Firefox 118: What's New?

![a screenshot of the firefox about information](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Firefox_118_1.png)

Firefox 118, like previous releases, has a lot to offer. Some key highlights include:

**Native In-Browser Translations****Improvements for Google Meet****Important Security Fixes**

We will first focus on the translation feature, then the rest.

### Native In-Browser Translations

Well, after some time of testing, [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) finally has **native support for in-browser translations**. We checked this out in the [Firefox 117 release](https://news.itsfoss.com/firefox-117-release/), but it was not available by default.

Now, it's just a few clicks away, as shown in the video above. You just have to go into the hamburger menu, then click on '**Translate page**', then select the translate from and to languages and click on '**Translate**'.

For switching back to the original language, just click on the translation logo in the address bar, and click on '**Show original**'.

In my experience, **this feature runs into some issues** when there are multiple languages on the same webpage, and there's no support for translating text from images or videos.

But that figures, as **the translation widget still says 'Beta'** on it. I am certain that the developers will push updates for improving its functionality in the coming months.
