I speak more than one language and want to have transparency and control of the content. Therefore I always want to see any website in it's native language first.

My preferred situation then would be to have a menu in the tab where I may choose a translation. In the case of a multi-lingual site I want to have those languages as additional options on top - with an indicator for the sites default language. So I may first choose the sites language, then (possibly) into which that is translated into.

But at present I can use only the settings of preferred language for multi-lingual sites, never knowing what language was the base for the content. (Presumably the most accurate content of the website.) And I can add languages for translation and sort them, while - weirdly - I cannot delete them later as there's no control element for getting rid of (maybe accidentally) downloaded ones.

Is there a solution already? Did I miss something in the settings? And: Where is the „translation panel“ to which the settings „Translations - More translation settings“ refer to in the block „Never translate these sites“?

Hello. After another update, there was a problem with the translation of the settings window. After opening the window, despite the specified browser language (Ukrainian), most of the items are still displayed in English. Attempts to manually edit the settings, reinstalling the browser from a fresh installer on a new system did not help. How to fix it? Windows 11, Firefox 152.0.4

I went to a website and downloaded a file and now websites are in Spanish instead of my language. What can I do to fix this issue? I have already confirmed the language settings are correct.

I am currently using the Vietnamese Telex IME of Windows 11 and I just found out that whenever I type the "." after any word, that word will be deleted. This is how to recreate the bug: 1. Type "hello " 2. Backspace (delete) 1 time, now it is "hello" 3. Type "." and the whole thing is deleted, turned into an "." string instead of "hello."

I just wanna ask if there is any setting or config that can solve this problem. Thanks.

How do I add the Translate icon to my Toolbar - W10 - please?

If I open the following page in Chrome it automatically translated from German to English. https://www.camperprotect.de/p/fahrer-und-beifahrertuerverriegelung-einbruchschutz-2006-2019

I cannot find how to translate it in Firefox. I do not have the Translate icon that is suggested.

Many thanks

Hello, Im using localized (Lithuanian) version of Firefox. Several updates back, Firefox started including russian and Polish in preferred languages by default. Personally i know how to remove those for myself. However, since im managing around 300 computers in a school. This starts to become an issue. In Lithuania we only have one official language. And when pages in a school start opening in foreign (russian) language this starts to be quite annoying. I would love to keep using Firefox but i need help.

If I select (highlight) one word, or a small number (~3) and right-click, the context menu will always display "Translate Selection to Dutch" as one of the options. If I select a few more, it will switch to "Translate Selection to English" (assuming that what has been selected is not English).

Example: "rouvre la porte" vs "rouvre la porte au nucléaire"

I have English (United States) [en-us] and English [en] in Settings as my "Website language". Possibly related: full page translation always defaults to English, too.

Thanks in advance.

Every time I open a new webpage, I get a screen from Firefox asking me if I want to make a translation from English to Spanish or otherwise. It is very frustrating closing these boxes frequently..

Hello,

as you can see in the image I can't select German as spellcheck language even though I have installed the German dictionary. My Win OS and the browser use English but I want German as spellcheck as well.

What I am missing?

Thanks

Hello,

I am trying to change the idiom of Mozilla since september and I can´t do it. I is a computer of the department of education of the Basque Country, and I would like to change it to Basque.

I attach the capture photo of the scene.

Thank you.

I have noted (finally) that Firefox is setting not just Language but units and currency based on the Language.

So, of the choices available - UK English is the nearest in terms of Language and spelling. However it's not my currency and despite being "technically" metric are not.

US English uses a currency that is not mine (but pretends to be), spelling that is not mine and does not even use Imperial units but some Elizabethan hybrid.

Canada manages to take the language from one and the units of the other.

No other Language English XX are offered.

Can I have Australian English - New Zealand or Singapore would be fine.

Hello,

My chosen language is English, with French second and US English third. I want to set French as my translation language but when I select 'Translation Settings' I am presented with a menu that only allows Removal of languages. How do I Add a language ? In this case French.

Best wishes
