Just had occasion to use the word Backpfeifengesicht. Out of curiosity, I highlighted, right-clicked, and chose "Translate to English". Hilarious result: "Baking pipe face".

(The correct answer is "punch-me face".)

Translate is often quite good, but I think it would be nice to be able to report the occasional mistake. So, as I asked in the subject linke: is there a central place to do this?

Thanks.

I use the dual English/German spell checker, a while back it stopped recognizing teh and ahve for example as the and have, only when turning off the German spell check it works again.

Is there any way to make one language take priority over the other (without having to turn languages off and on constantly?) or to get more suggested results?

For at least the last 10 years, Thunderbird spell-checker has rejected contractions such as "don't" in the emails that I type. It highlights "don" as a misspelled word, ignoring the apostrophe and "t". How can I force it to recognize contractions? Adding every contraction in the English language to the dictionary is not a practical answer.

Hello everyone.

Lately a get my emails from greek senders like in the screenshot, not everyone, but most of them. I tried many things like, changing mime variable from false to true, removing addons, repair folder, repair font to no avail. I also disabled antivirus. The questios marks are also in the "ctrl+U" screen and the fonts looks utf-8 as normal in the header. They look normal online or the yahoo mail app in iOS. Anyong knows how to fix this?

Thanks in regard.

Cannot change the "Fallback language" from Russian in Firefox 154.0.1 on macOS

Firefox shows Russian as the selected "Fallback language", but I cannot change it to another language.

My current language settings are:

Preferred language: English (US) Fallback language: Russian Website languages: Ukrainian [uk], English (United States) [en-us], English [en]

I do not want Russian to be used as a fallback language.

Steps to reproduce: Open Firefox Settings. Open the language settings. Set the Preferred language to English (US). Observe the Fallback language setting. Try to change the Fallback language from Russian to English or Ukrainian.

Actual result The Fallback language is set to Russian and cannot be changed to another language. The fallback language dropdown works correctly, but the list contains only Russian.


Expected result

The Fallback language should be selectable independently of the Preferred language, and I should be able to select English (US) or Ukrainian or Polish instead of Russian.

Additional information

The issue is present on:

Firefox 154.0.1 macOS Apple Silicon (aarch64)

The Website languages setting already contains Ukrainian and English, but this does not allow me to remove Russian from the Firefox UI fallback language.

I'm getting the "whats new" page always in Russian

My spell check generally doesn't work, but occasionally comes back to life, I have tried the about config, and change value to 2, I have tried uploading dictionary, and making sure check as I type is ticked, but the setting on config seems to keep reverting to 1, and I'm sure if I have successfully uploaded a dictionary, I clicked on language pack, Ironically while I'm typing this, my spell check is actively involved.
