Hi Lucas,

It should be in Firefox menu -> Translate page... For reference, see Firefox Translations.

Hi Denys,

I saw that some websites on link bar, it shows a translation icon, allowing me to translate clicking on it or with right clicking, but some websites it don't appear, neither on link bar neither with right click, but if I select a text and right click to translate selected text, it translates without issues.

Hello

Firefox Translations

When you visit a webpage in a supported language, the translation panel will open automatically. If it does not open, click the translation icon in the toolbar or select Translate page from the Hamburguer menu.

To complement.

Available languages' models.

To see it in operation, you can also type about:translations in the address bar.

To be honest, I believe I also noticed such behavior. It would be cool if you share some examples of the websites where Firefox doesn't offer translations automatically. Having specific URLs, we'll be able to test and pass to the team if necessary.

Some are piracy websites https://forum.torrminatorr.com/viewtopic.php?t=6950 https://www.gog.com/en/game/fallout_4_game_of_the_year_edition https://github.com/RimSort/RimSort https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/fingersoft/hill-climb-racing/hill-climb-racing-1-67-6-release/ https://xdaforums.com/t/all-users-please-enable-the-2-factor-authentication.4656204/ Not sure why but I think is because page isn't static, like something behind user view is still running something, not sure if extensions affect it.

For all of these pages, Firefox suggest translations automatically for me (en -> uk)... What is your target language?

You can also try running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to rule out extensions.

Well the issue isn't extensions from what I see, because websites aren't showing the translation button, neither this support page in Troubleshot Mode

Strangely, even resetting/cleaning that, translation button still don't appear. I was thinking its probably because on my PC I have set english and portuguese as languages so maybe browser don't try to translate a language I know, but then going into a website with japanese games, main page the translation button appear, opening a game page the translation button disapear.
