I had recently set my vpn to south korea, when i went to search something the results would be in the Korean. I had changed my VPN back to North America, but for some reason the language won't change back to English and is stuck at Korean. How do i remedy this?

Sirs,

I have Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon in Swedish language/locale. I set up two users with Firefox 146. Then, I upgraded Firefox to 147.0, and set up a third user on the same machine.

For the two original users, the Firefox is in all-Swedish locale. Perfect. But, for my newly created user, some is in English. Examples in English; Onboarding, Search in Privacy, and New Tab/Shortcuts. Web pages is no problem. The problem is in Firefox proper.

Strangely, New Tab is in Swedish (Ny flik), if I do not use the shortcuts, i.e. chose Empty new page in Settings. How to fix? Minor annoyance, but I would like everything in Swedish, as in v. 146. Is it a bug that will be fixed by Mozilla, or do I have to do anything to fix it myself, or is it un-fixable? Or, is it maybe anything in Linux? I understand it is some changes between 146 and 147 regarding a couple of rather important things. Thanks. >>> System:

Hi First of all thanks a lot Mozilla team for creating a wonderful master piece of security and privacy. I really love firefox browser native translation feature. By unfortunately my native language still missing. I am still surprised why urdu still not added as language in translation. There are arround 500 millions native urdu speaker's Please support urdu Also.

Do not have "Block new requests asking to access your location" checked in settings. I have deleted cookies from hulu.com and restarted firefox. Still nothing. Hulu can't help. Location works in Chrome and Edge but I refuse to use those.

Japanese characters usually do not render.

I can reproduce this issue by:

• going to the Wikipedia page for the katakana Unicode block.
• going to any YouTube comment with Japanese text.
• hovering over the screenshot of the YouTube comment so that the tooltip containing the name of the file is shown.

On YouTube the text renders only if 1.27916663885116563rem <= font-size <= 1.92083328962326036rem. Increasing `gfx.font_rendering.fontconfig.max_generic_substitutions` from 3 to 99 allows some punctuation to render and makes the text take up horizontal space. Further increase of the value to 999 causes the interpunct to render in the Wikipedia page.

I just installed the browser and enabled Russian localization. Then I opened a page in English. A notification appeared with a suggestion to translate the page into another language. In the translator options, there is an option to select the language from which the translation will be made. There is Russian language there, but I chose English, it’s logical. And then comes the choice of the language into which the translation will be carried out, but there is no Russian language there. Why? How can I translate the page into Russian?

I am currently in Spain, when connected to certain network parts of my page are auto translated to Spanish, even tho the whole page is usually in a different language and all of my settings are set to "English" I cannot find a way to change this specific setting as it seems to be linked to the provider of internet service directly?

Mozilla is the only search engine that recently has started to display pages and Ads in German. For years it was in English which is selected as the only preferred language in the settings, so its a very recent language phenomenon. What is wrong? It has started a couple months ago and I have been unable to get rid of this problem even by re-installing the browser.

I have downloaded downloaded language packs English UK and French France, but when I spell check in Mozilla the only option in the open menu for language there is only English US to use even though the other two preferred languages have been downloaded. Am I missing a trick to activate the languages so that they show in my language menu when spell checking?

Very frustrating that I only have a default of US considering I am in France and use French and UK English.

Hi. I've downloaded dictionaries and languages, the check spelling option is enabled in the browser settings. However, browser doesn't want to do it automatically. I have to manually enable it with RMB context menu (and re-select languages) for each website individually. Moreover, when the page refreshes, spell checking turning itself off again in RMB menu (but stays enabled in browser options).

  Is this really how it's supposed to work?

I have tried several times to translate Hebrew to English using the translation beta, but Hebrew is not listed. Seems odd, given the prominence of Hebrew-speakers in the tech industry. Will you be including Hebrew in the set of languages supported soon?

Thanks, Sam

As per the topic title. I would like pages to always automatically translate from english to my chosen language. However, when I select the option in the context menu, then revisit the setting, the check box remains unchecked. This remains the case on multiple tested operating systems, Arch Linux and Linux Mint. Thank you in advance.

Whenever Firefox offers or I request a translation it always, without fail, offers Estonian as the destination language.

I deleted all the languages from the app (or whatever) and just downloaded the ones I require but that made no difference.
