It's checked in settings, the US english language pack is installed, I did the about:config thing as well and it's still not working. Oh yeah, also used troubleshoot mode - turned off all addons - and still doesn't work.

Hello : The Arabic word has several English words, I notice after translation. again, I am Ami Fahd from Saudi Arabia. I am happy that there is a forum that brings us together, even if it is written, I hope that my practical circumstances will allow me to be part of this society. I apologize for prolonging, knowing that I feel very tired and lack of sleep, and this is what makes the speech unrelated, I repeat and request the inclusion of the Arabic language in the available languages,

Beg me, we'll meet soon Thanks to the team

Hello,all, The built-in translation button in Firefox disappeared on the Reddit website.

Please add a fixed access key for the 'Translate button'. I also recommend introducing an automatic website translation function. Thank!

No way to click "never translate english" on the autotranslate function and it's driving me nuts

I've used firefox for the past few years, swapping over from Chrome and for the last few months FF has asked to translate every new page I visit, and the option to "never… (read more)

I've used firefox for the past few years, swapping over from Chrome and for the last few months FF has asked to translate every new page I visit, and the option to "never translate english" is always grayed out. I've tried this in incognito mode, on my laptop and with no addons - the bug persists. Yet still I am unable to find any similar problem online that has this issue... which boggles my mind, since it should be prevalent if a lot of people had this problem. So - anyone who has any idea what could be causing this out of seemingly nowhere, that is persists across computers and without addons?

Firefox translates the word "Deutsch" to "English" (probaly other languages too)?

I really appreciate Firefox's built in translator; it is extremely helpful. However there is one thing that bugs me, when translating a page that has multiple language options. For example, when translating a page from German to English, the word "Deutsch" (often listed in the website's built in language settings) is translated not to "German", but to "English". While technically correct in that the page is now displaying English thanks to the Firefox translation, it would probably be better to show "German" so that it is easier to switch the website language and not have a duplicate "English" option in the website's dropdown menu. I have noticed this on multiple websites, specifically with German, but it might be with other languages as well. Hopefully this explanation of the issue makes sense, and see my attached screenshot which shows this issue. Please let me know if there is somewhere else I should submit this too.

I don't have that translate icon in the address bar, never did, not on a single page. Can i get that somehow? And, when attempting to access the firefox translation settings through;

about:translations

I receive the following error message;

"Your device does not meet the minimum requirements to use this feature. Try on another device" Please check the screenshot i uploaded as well.

Even though i do see several language & translation settings in the regular preferences menu, and even though i see a page full of settings containing the string "transla", Firefox inline website translations are only accessible through the context menus using a right mouse-click. There, i can select a source and target language and all the options seem to be there and functioning well. I just don't have anything related to translation in the address bar, the regular alt-key menus, or the hamburger menu. Also not when customising the buttons etc.

I also have to say that the quality of the translations is nowhere near that of the ones on the Google Translate page, which surprises me somewhat, since it should have access to the same bucket of linguistic data as the website (i assume it works through an API), or am i incorrect in my assumptions ?

F.Y.I. My device is a PC running Devuan (Linux) with FF v140.8, my gpu is outdated so GL (hardware rendering) hasn't worked in a while, i'm using that shoddy Nouveau driver, but that hasn't caused any problems, i bought a 2nd hand supported GPU about 2 years ago, but i just can't be bothered to install it...eheh).
