I work at Mozilla, so got a sneak preview (and also the first bugs) :)

(Of course technically the work was out there in the open already, since it's Mozilla.)

Agreed about the Bergamot website. I suspect it's not by Mozilla, but I'll see if I can ask someone to take a look, as I don't think all those connections should be necessary.

is there a way to opt websites/URLS/ url roots in to automatic translations? currently the "auto translate this tab" works but you have to select it manually and for me at least on linux it makes the window more than 100% so i cannot use the right side of browser in this tab.

you know a simple setting "always translate this website" and an option to hide the bar

Do you know if this will be open-sourced, or if the repo is already available?

I think this is probably the source https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations

edit: and for the actual translations https://github.com/mozilla/bergamot-translator

awesome, thanks! i also suspect it's by the EU coalition behind bergamot, so probably beyond mozilla's jurisdiction, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
