Comment on The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet

  No news on that though AFAIK that’s the most requested one. As other comment pointed out currently these languages are WIP:

  • Russian
  • Persian (Farsi)
  • Icelandic
  • Norwegian Nynorsk
  • Norwegian Bokmål
  • Ukrainian
  • Dutch

  Personally I’d like to see more asian languages as that part of the web is lacking English but those languages are much harder to implement and all of this contribution here is mostly by European universities and organizations.

    Nynorsk supporters just never quit do they. Half the country wants it gone and less than 10 percent of the country uses it, still it’s on the list while Swedish and Danish aren’t, lmao.

      We already have one language.

      Yes but what about a second language?

  Me, too. I end up using TWP, and that works pretty well, minus the fact that it’s filtered through either Google Translate, Bing, Yandex or DeepL with an API key.

    I really want something that just translates kanji/kana to romaji. There was an extension in Chrome that did that and it’s the only thing I miss after switching to FF.

      kanji/kana to romaji

      Wow, I never knew that they had a Japanese to Romaji extension. Would furigana extensions work? addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/…/furiganaize/?u…

        Unfortunately it only works on Kanji (which is probably the hardest part, I guess if there’s no alternative for kana there isn’t enough demand?), but thanks!
