ნუ გაებმებით თაღლითების მახეში. აქ არავინ უნდა მოგთხოვოთ ტელეფონზე დარეკვა, შეტყობინების გაგზავნა ან პირადი მონაცემების გაზიარება. რამე საეჭვოს შემჩნევისას გთხოვთ გვაცნობოთ „დარღვევის მოხსენებით“.

Still wondering about "translate to Dutch" on context menu

I asked this about four months ago, and did not get any answer, so I am asking again. Sorry for the repetition.

Here is the problem: when I highlight a short passage of text (~3-4 words), and right-click, the context menu always shows the translation entry as "Translate to Dutch". (See first image.) If I accept that, the input language is assumed to be English, so I actually have to change both drop-downs. (See second image.)

If the passage is long enough (> ~4-5 words), the context menu will show "Translate to English", which is what I want, and as an aside, Firefox is almost always correct in detecting the input language.

I can understand it being hard to detect the input language from a short phrase, but why does the output language default to Dutch? And is there a way to change this behavior?

Thanks.

Maybe, you can try, reset the preference, browser.translations.mostRecentTargetLanguages

1 - Go to configuration editor https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox 2 - Enter a search term browser.translations.mostRecentTargetLanguages and click on the Reset button.

This seems to have had the proper effect. Thank you.

For others: After I did the reset, I highlighted the same phrase. This time there was no default output language shown in the context menu, but it was shown as English in the pop-up translation window. I selected Spanish for the input language and it worked.

I next went and found another short phrase. In Spanish, again as it happened. But the important point is that this time, when I selected, the context menu showed "Translate to English". Same with just the single "Bonjour" above.

Thanks again.
