Google Translate For Firefox
Ellen Woolcock
Firefox has added a new built-in full page translation feature that allows you to seamlessly browse the web in your preferred language. As you navigate the site, Firefox continuously translates new content in real time. This feature will be rolled out gradually and should be available for all users starting in Firefox version 118.
Yes, Firefox can translate password-protected or login-required pages, as long as the content is fully displayed on your screen. The translation feature works on any webpage content that Firefox can access and render.
Installing languages enables Firefox to perform translations locally within your browser, prioritizing your privacy and security. As you translate, Firefox downloads partial language files to your browser cache as you need them. To pre-install complete languages yourself, access the language settings in Firefox Settings, General panel, in the Language and Appearance section under Translations.
This value is a or representing the abscissa (horizontal, x-component) of the translating vector [tx, 0]. The ordinate (vertical, y-component) of the translating vector will be set to 0. For example, translate(2px) is equivalent to translate(2px, 0). A percentage value refers to the width of the reference box defined by the transform-box property.

Then I closed the tab. Now I no longer see that translate icon on the address bar or anywhere else. I seemed to see that I had to go to the FF extension page and needed to add the extension. However, I still do not get the icon on the address bar. I see it in my extension overflow on the bar, as well as if I right-click on the page. However, right-click only gives me (auto/en)
7. By default, all sites are translated into English but you can change this behavior by clicking the drop-down menu to change the options. After selection the Options, you can configure the behavior of the Google Translate.
9. Once you select the Bing Translate ICON( ) you will see an option to set source language (Bing Translate will try and identify the source for you) and the target language. You can check the Always Translate check-box if you wish Bing Translate to always translate pages into the target language.
I've just realised that when you have saved your details for a form in Firefox, and then try to fill in the form within my div, the pop-up Firefox creates that contains your saved details is ignoring the transform, and appearing in the location on screen where the entire div would be if transform: translate wasn't applied.
It's difficult to give an example of this because it requires you to have saved your login details to a site, but if you go to a site where you have saved details, and move the container using transform: translate, you'll see the effect.
Localization in Fulah:When faced with a large localization project, one doesn't usually know where to start or how to organize translation work. The tasks look so overwhelming and tedious and tend to discourage or reduce motivation. In this session I want to share my experience on localizing all the projects that were completed with ANLOC (African Network for Localization). Using online and offline tools requires workflow to be organized in a way that makes the translation task more efficient but also less tedious. It helps keep motivation when facing huge workload as in Firefox localization. Working offline and then uploading individual .po files to the server then committing them to SVN can be organized in a logical, smooth and motivating manner starting with large individual files.
I want to particularly focus on Virtaal/Pootle from translate.org.za and the workflow that allowed me to translate in a very efficient manner while maintaining motivation at a good level.
Hi, I often see items from Germany or France on ebay UK. Either ebay or my browser automatically translate the title into English, but they don't translate the seller's detailed description, postage info, etc. I am wondering why not? I just tried logging on to ebay.de, loading an item, and using the "Translate" command in Firefox to force translation, and that too only translated the header stuff, not the 'down the page' info. When shopping I am reduced to having to cut and paste German or French text into the Collins online translator, which is slow and tedious. It would be much better if I could see the text translated on the ebay page. Any info?
You can have your favorite websites translated into your native or preferred language while using the popular Firefox browser. This is possible with the Firefox Translations add-on, which works in-browser and is free.
You may already be familiar with the likes of Interpreter mode in Google Assistant, but wonder how translation tools work. To translate languages, cloud-based services send your data to centralized data centers where GPU clusters deploy large language models to handle the translations.
However, this is not the case with Firefox Translations. Mozilla's Firefox Translations deploys all the necessary language Machine Learning tools locally, and automatically translates websites directly in your browser.
With Firefox Translations, you can fill a web form in your own language and have it dynamically translated to the page's language. It also flags low-confidence translations in red so that you can be aware of potential translation errors.
There are several additional settings to consider. If you select Options on the extension's toolbar, you'll find Never offer translations, which simply removes the toolbar from the tab, and Never translate this site. On non-English websites, the Never translate [language] box will appear in the menu, too.
Translation preferences leads you to a final setting that might interest you. Under Language, click Exceptions to see and remove languages and websites you've excluded from being translated.
The major difference between Firefox Translations and other cloud-based translators is that whereas the latter sends out your data to centralized servers to be processed and translated via GPU, the former handles this process locally on the client-side using your CPU. We've covered the differences between a GPU and a CPU.
There are many use cases for Firefox Translations and for online translators in general. For instance, if you stumble upon important information while browsing, you can translate it and forward it to family members or friends in a language they understand.
In conclusion, the Google Translate Website Plugin for Firefox offers a convenient and effective way for users to translate content on the web, making it a must-have tool for anyone who needs to access and understand information in other languages.
The translation tool, called Firefox Translations, can be added to your browser here. It will need to download some resources the first time it translates a language, and presumably it may download improved models if needed, but the actual translation work is done by your computer, not in a data center a couple hundred miles away.
Sometimes, when you are browsing the internet for important information, or for fun, you may end up on a website that is in a different language. Now, a website that caters to a global audience will be localized and support multiple languages. So, you can just click a button or flag icon to translate the entire website and view the content in your preferred language. However, some websites may not be optimized properly or support the option of multiple languages. In this case, you will need to translate a web page in Firefox.
In such cases, you have to manually translate the content of the website. Translating entire webpages is not difficult if you are using the Google Chrome browser. The popular browser by Google has a built-in translation feature. But what if you are used to browsing in another popular browser, like Mozilla Firefox? Well, it is possible to use the translate feature to translate a web page in Firefox as well.
Bear in mind that Project Bergamot is still far from being ready for wide use. Language support is tiny compared to popular translation services, and the translation process takes quite a significant time. Currently, you can only translate from Estonian, Spanish, and English.
Now, it's just a few clicks away, as shown in the video above. You just have to go into the hamburger menu, then click on 'Translate page', then select the translate from and to languages and click on 'Translate'.
Not always you need to translate the page entirely, right? Sometimes you don't know what just one word means or not sure about the meaning of just one sentence. Copy-pasting it to Google Translate is old news. Instead, just highlight it with mouse and hit Shift+T! Mate lets you see translations right where you need it, unobtrusively and blazingly fast.
The new option is quite similar to what the Firefox Translations add-on does. So how is this different? The built-in translator works automatically, i.e. you don't have to interact with the extension to tell it to translate the text on a website, or on all websites of a specific language. Let's say you want to translate web pages from Spanish or German to English, Firefox will do that automatically for you.
The quality of the translation is a bit wonky, but that is a problem with most translation services. Firefox does not translate web pages automatically, you will have to set it up, we'll get to this in a bit.
When you visit a website that is not in your default language, Firefox will show a pop-up that offers to translate the web page for you, you just need to click on the Translate button and let the browser do the rest. The pop-up displays the detected language of the web page in the "Translate From" menu, if you find it to be incorrect, you may choose the correct language manually. Similarly, you can select the language that you want to translate the text to. You can click the "Show Original" button to view the unmodified version of the text.
