iOS Translations not available

I'm running FF v147.2.1 on my iPhone. There is NO translation option in the address bar OR in settings. It was supposed to be introduced in v146. Why is it not available despite having a version that is supposed to have the feature?

Hi Frodo,

can you let me know what language are you using for your Firefox for iOS? To my understanding, Firefox Translations on iOS is still pretty limited in locale availability.

English. But I download the app from the Swedish Apple app store.

It looks like Firefox Translations on iOS is still being rolled out progressively so it may not reached yours yet.

Thank you for your interest in the feature, but we kindly ask for your patience. In the meantime, you may want to read the following article to learn more about this functionality. Translate webpages in Firefox for iOS

I'm not sure how the linked webpage is of help to me since that functionality does not exist in my FF v147.3. Said webpage could be edited for clarity: The feature is available starting in Firefox for iOS version 146. Update your app from the App Store if you don’t see it. ...although the translation feature is not availabe in all app stores despite having ≥v146.

Like others, I've now set Safari as my default browser in iOS since it has both translation and (ad blocking) extensions, neither of which exist in FF v147.3 for iOS.

Fair point! I'll take the feedback to our team for consideration.

I have a similar issue with translation not showing in Firefox 147.5 (67839). I used to have the translation option appear in the URL bar, but no longer see that as an option and there is no translation option in the settings. So have to use Safari now to get this option.
