v0.4.1

Key new features introduced in this release

• Faster Translations on Firefox Nightly
• Support for HTML text translation

v0.3.1

Key new features introduced in this release

• Added versioning information in wasm artifacts

How to perform translation

• README explains how to use the JavaScript APIs to perform translation
• Files required for translation for the supported language pairs can be downloaded from bergamot-models-v0.2.1

Caveats

• The artifacts in this release are tested only with bergamot-models-v0.2.1 to perform translation for the supported language pairs

• No translation speed improvement compared to v0.3.0 (will be improved in follow-up releases)

v0.3.0

TL;DR

This release allows translation from Spanish <-> English, Estonian <-> English and English -> German. The first translation will be a bit slower compared to the subsequent translations for the same language pair.

Key new features introduced in this release

• Faster loading time for models (< 1 sec in most of the cases)

  • This implies only a slight difference in translation speed between the first translation and subsequent translations for the same language pair

• Loading the model, shortlist and vocabulary files dynamically (i.e. at the time of translation)

  • These files are not bundled into wasm binary leading to an extremely lightweight wasm binary (< 7 MB compared to ~400 MB before)

How to perform translation

• README explains how to use the JavaScript APIs to perform translation
• Files required for translation for the supported language pairs can be downloaded from bergamot-models-v0.2.1

Caveats

• The artifacts in this release are tested only with bergamot-models-v0.2.1 to perform translation for the supported language pairs

• Translation speed is 90-95% compared to the v0.2.0 (will be improved in follow-up releases)

v0.2.0

TL;DR:

This release allows translation from Spanish and Estonian in and out of English, as well as English into German. The first translation will be a bit slow but the subsequent translations with the same translation language will be fast.

Key new features introduced in this release:

• Translation speeds are back to about 500-600 words per second
  • Compared to about 150-200 words per second in the last release

How to perform translation

• README to see how JavaScript APIs can be used
  • A demo to see everything running in a browser
• Translation model files for Spanish <-> English; English -> German; Estonian <-> English can be downloaded from mozilla-applied-ml/bergamot-models)

Caveats (will be improved upon in follow-up releases):

• Loading models still takes 10-30 seconds

  • This means that the first translation will take a long time to finish (subsequent translations should be faster for the same language pair)

• We currently bundle all files that are required for translation (model, vocabulary, shortlist etc.) in the wasm binary at compile time (instead of downloading them on demand during translation)

  • This is why the wasm binary size is over 400 MB

v0.1.0

TL;DR

This release allows translation from Spanish and Estonian in and out of English, as well as English into German. The first translation will be a bit slow but the subsequent translations with the same translation language will be fast.

Key features introduced in this release:

• First release that ports Bergamot Translator to WASM (please follow README instructions for compiling)
• Provides JavaScript APIs that can be used to integrate the translator in browser (please follow README to see API usage)
• Tested on translation model files for Spanish <-> English; English -> German; Estonian <-> English (from mozilla-applied-ml/bergamot-models#2)

Caveats (will be improved upon in follow-up releases):

• Translation speeds are temporarily low (~ 150-200 words per second)
• Loading models takes 10-30 seconds
• We currently bundle all files that are required for translation (model, vocabulary, shortlist etc.) in the wasm binary at compile time (instead of downloading them on demand during translation)
  • This is why the wasm binary size is over 400 MB
