Firefox Lingo is a Firefox Plugin that translates full web pages from one language to another. In fact, it recognizes 46 different languages and can translate between 1000 language pairs. The languages that this plugin recognizes are quite diverse and cover some of the most common languages found on the web, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian.
The blogosphere was abuzz yesterday with the news that Firefox 3 was out of beta and available for download to the public. A total of 8 million Firefox downloads were counted over the last 24 hours and with that, Mozilla and all the users that did download the latest version have earned themselves a spot in the Guinness Book Of World Records.
It was a challenging 24 hour period for Mozilla as their servers certainly couldn’t handle the traffic yesterday, with many users encountering timeout messages. One can only imagine, if their servers were able to handle the traffic, just how much higher the download count would have been.
If you’re a big fan of the Firefox browser, and there are so many reasons to be a big fan, you’ll want to circle June 17, 2008 on your calendar.
