The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet::Mozilla has announced the release of an update to its Firefox browser. In version number 118, users will find a significant innovation - a built-in translator
I had to search for it quite a bit to find it. It’s in the (stupid IMO) menu with the three lines, they made to replace the proper menu bar.
If it detects another language on a website, it shows up on the URL bar
Thanks, actually popped up automatically, maybe a first time thing IDK.
It doesn’t detect language as far as I can tell, it seems it just uses the domain name.
I’ve been disappointed with Orion and Safari lately. Not ready to switch to Chrome, but maybe it’s time to give Firefox another shot.
I tried to translate a page from German to Bulgarian. It's broken
I have 120 and do not have it. Weird that it’s only enabled on an older version.
Someone link to a page that this will work on.
They demo this with their own homepage mozilla.org after you’ve updated. I thought it worked great.
I updated through my distribution’s repository and I don’t see anything translatable on mozilla.org.

Last time I checked online translators were as shit as 10 years, so I wonder how well this works.

Do people actually rate Google Translate that well? I’ve always found it lacking, but then I don’t use it anywhere near habitually.

Yeah, they may look fine for people who don’t know language other than their own, otherwise you will just notice that they just translate badly and sometimes even mistranslating (or not translating at all) key words. This is especially true for anything that is not a simple conversation between people, or other simple sentences.
