San Francisco-based company Brave Software announced earlier this week that it added more than 90 languages to its Brave Translate tool, bringing the total number of languages offered on the platform to 108.
Brave, a browser based on Google's open-source Chrome browser, places special emphasis on user privacy by blocking all ads linked to trackers. While Chrome has a local translation service, the company launched Brave Translate to ensure its users' privacy. Currently, Brave Translate is only available for desktop and Android, but the company announced on Tuesday that an iOS version is in progress.
"Brave Translation protects privacy and allows users to privately translate websites in over 100 languages without revealing browsing activity," the browser's developers wrote in a blog post. Brave uses a self-hosted server and Lingvanex translation engine to power the translations. This means that your caching and translation requests are not fed into privacy-threatening models.
When a user translates something through Chrome's translation service, that data goes to Google's API, which can lead to a privacy breach if a user enters confidential information. Until recently, Brave users had to rely on third-party extensions like Google Translate to automatically translate certain content.
