Firefox Translate and Russian - support Russian translations

[drjlevi6]

I'm surprised that Firefox Translate includes Bulgarian but not Russian in its list of available languages. It seems to me that the latter language is far more important.

Why there https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/translate/ Russian is officially declared but in my FF 128 I have no  Russian ?

I just used Firefox Translate to translate a simple passage from English to Russian. It's still in beta, but it worked!

@Desemin Firefox Release (currently 128) we only have Russian to English. In Firefox Nightly we also have English to Russian.

We are currently training higher quality Russian models. Once they are ready, we will deploy them to both Firefox Release and Firefox Nightly.

Really? I have Firefox v 128.0, and it just translated "The cat sat on the mat" to "Кошка сидела на коврике."

@drjlevi6that's curious, en->ru should not be available (unless you enabled some hidden configs to use pre-release models). Anyway, it should be available soon for everybody (and it will be better than the current one).

Quick update - support for Russian translations is available in Firefox Nightly. We are still working to get it ready for release in Firefox and will update you all here when that happens. Thanks for the ongoing feedback and patience 🙌
