From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Firefox Translations now supports more languages than ever! Pages in Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean can now be translated and Russian is now available as a target language for translating into.

Oh finally support for these Chinese, Japanese and Korean! Less reason to use Google translate. Edit: Just tested it on two websites, oh my goodness, it works well!

Actually great news! Really like the feature and was consistently annoyed when you had to fall back to Google for those languages.

Yeah, when the popup came up offering to do the translation on a Japanese website I was on, I was pretty stoked! I was using the Developer Edition then,, so it was still in beta and there weren't any official announcements then. Glad it's out officially now!
