From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

One always has to be suspicious of Mozilla these days.

As far as I know Mozilla never lied on technical details, at worst they didn't know about wrongdoings by their partners and acted once known about.

The translation being done locally is advertised and should be simple to check with it being open-source. It also has to download for a while on first use, as well as translations take a considerable amount of time depending on the hardware. E.g. for larger sites it takes a short while until the last paragraph shows up as translated.
