Yes. I was responsible for kicking off that project. At Mozilla we'd been working with Europe on the Bergamot LLM translation tech and in 2022 we started work integrating it into Firefox. It began shipping last year. New language models are added regularly, all pivoting off English so French to German would actually be French -> English -> German and so you'd need two models for that. Each model was a few megabytes when I was starting on this but I've been away for a bit now so maybe they've improved on that but it did mean that we had to pull models down on demand because doubling the binary size for an initial Firefox download wasn't an option. (BTW, I was the guy that shipped Firefox v1 and my target for its download size back then was 3.5 MB or "about the size of an mp3". We made it down to about 4.5 MB which was close enough. It's over 10 times that size today.)
