The default language on Firefox somehow changed from Italian to Japanese. I did not reinstall Firefox, I can't think of anything that I did that could've changed the default language, especially because now I can't seem to change it. I have reinstalled the Italian language pack and placed it at the top of my preference list, but Japanese is still there and I cannot remove it (the button is greyed out).

Some extensions are broken because they look at the default language and not at the current in-use preferred language.

How can I change the default language without having to reinstall Firefox?

I am using Firefox 128.5.0esr (64-bit) on Debian 12. This is the browser that comes installed with the system. Recently, an offline translation feature was added to Firefox. In settings, you can download various languages. I would like to know where language models for offline translation are stored. The downloaded languages I want to copy to another computer without internet connection so that I can use the offline translation on this computer.

Translation is not working as expected

As far as I can tell from reading the help pages, the Firefox translation feature should automatically translate any page in any available language, unless explicitly set not to do so. However, I observe that no translation occurs unless I first select text, right click, and select translate, and even then, the translation is presented as unformatted text in a separate dialog box, which is not much better than copying and pasting web pages into some other translator service. Am I missing something here?

Sadly, this is not even close to being competitive with the Google Translate level of functionality. I use Google Translate every day to read package labels in grocery stores, road signs, and a host of other written sources of information. Occasionally, I even use it to hold conversations with people I would not otherwise be able to talk to. So far, I am nearly monolingual, and I am unwilling to do without this; I probably wouldn't travel if it were not available. It does tie me to that fraction of the surface area of the earth where high speed internet access is generally available, but I don't really need to go any places where it is not; I am not trying to hike across Antarctica. I understand that there is a loss of privacy when dealing with Google, but I do whatever I can to fend that off, and the value of the free services I receive in exchange is huge. What's the future of Firefox in this respect?

I have downloaded additional dictionaries to spell check when I'm writing in other languages on the firefox browser, yet I am unable to switch to those dictionaries. I've tried multiple. I have cleared caches. I have restarted. I have installed and uninstalled. I have the latest version.

They simply do not work. I work in multiple languages and would love to continue to use Firefox has my default browser.

Hello,

I'm quite excited about the translation feature as that was one of the features that was always really useful in Chrome but I missed in Firefox. However, I noticed that Korean is not among the languages for translation.

Is there any timeline or plan to add Korean to the list of languages? Are there any complications that prevent Korean being added at all?

I'd highly appreciate if you could give me some insight into this.

Kind regards, Christopher

I have tried several times to translate Hebrew to English using the translation beta, but Hebrew is not listed. Seems odd, given the prominence of Hebrew-speakers in the tech industry. Will you be including Hebrew in the set of languages supported soon?

Thanks, Sam

I have both German and Dutch dictionaries downloaded, but firefox' spelling check just... doesn't see the dictionaries at all. (The dictionaries tab eventually links to the second screen, when you can see the pack is installed.) I can't seem to find anywhere else it might need to be activated in first, my computer's default language has also been either dutch or german so that shouldn't have any effect. It's not a restart firefox issue either - it has persisted for a while, i just keep forgetting lol.

Hello,

I have a Mac desktop running Seqouia 15.1.1, and I'm using Firefox, primarily.

Inside LinkedIn, the "see more" link is missing in people's profile sections. I can;t expand any of these sections to read them in full.

They are present in Chrome. They are present on my iPhone.

I've reset everything I can think of but nothing impacts it. Also, this is a fairly new problem. So, something updated that caused this but Idk what.

The attached images give examples.

1st image (FF): Where the "..." is, a "see more" text link should also appear. 2nd image (CH): "See more" is present.
