Browser is most used program by me and by most users of internet, so it is important for browser to be high efficient for daily routine. Altough browsers have embedded translation features and exists a lot of browser extensions for translation, all of them have bad quality and absolutely not acceptable for intensive use. This is why i've create Linguist - ultimate browser extension for translation.

    I see, that’s true, it could use some more publicity! Still, I think you could get in touch with Mozilla somehow already.
    However, thinking more about it, it does make sense that they’d be separate since yours is more like a framework to implement various translation systems, as you said. I could still see some of the features you implemented being contributed to the Firefox Translations extension, for the sake of keeping it in scope, I’m not sure which kind of things they would like though ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯
