hi,

When can we have firefox with translation set OFF by default?

I mean, it's pretty unfair that intelligent people have to keep turning off the dumb translator... all the time... We need a setting, openly available, in the Edit/Settings menu, where it belongs, an option to switch it off. In fact, when it first asks if we want a page translated, we need an option: never ask this again...

All we can see is "go under the hood of firefox, config:option, go into the about:config section where 10 of 10 million people will ever get... and there find your way to disable this horrible translator". When can we expect an option in the pop-up: "never ask me this question again"?

The translator in this offensive form has been around since 2023... I seems high time we didn't have to bother with this anymore...

Peter

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Share ideas and feedback…. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.

Hi Peter, you can disable the behavior of the panel opening automatically by using the first open on the settings menu in the panel. Click the gear/wheel/cog icon to display the menu, then click the first item ("Always offer to translate") to "un-check" it.

As shown in the attached larger screenshot, this makes a change visible in about:config.

I think this item first became available in Firefox 123; the support article (Firefox Translations Add-on) needs to be updated with this information.

Does that resolve the problem, or was there a different behavior you didn't like?

Note that you can disable the website translation feature by setting browser.translations.enable to false in about:config.
