Models are downloaded only once and then cached, and not repeatedly like the OP mentioned. Source: Me. I've developed it. If you disagree, are seeing a different behavior or have further questions, please reach out in the repo: github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations/

We retrain models as we get new datasets and only if they improve, which is not common. So far we haven't updated any model. When it's time, then yes, they will be updated, but it's definitely not a frequent process.

I'm glad to hear.

No usage data is sent to Google. Only the models are stored on GCS under Mozilla's account and tracking is not even an option.

This is the right behavior and it's still working for me. Could you please file an issue to: https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations/issues with your STRs?

This is definitely not the right behavior. Could you please file an issue with steps to reproduce or mail the team (address is in the addon page)

You are right in your statement: the models are downloaded only once and cached. If that's not the case for some users, it should be filed as an issue

This is a very underrated comment

I work for a remote first company for years, and they are now doing the same thing, and I hate not having an office so I can sit and code alone with proper infrastructure in a quiet manner. The company is basically offloading the office costs to employees. I'd appreciate if they give me a 20k stipend to invest on an Air conditioner unit for my house. The heat this year is being brutal in the Bay Area.
