I have S3 Google Translator v. 5.38 working in TB 60.4. The add-on seems to have been removed from the Firefox and TB add-on sites due to a dispute over certain stats collection options.

Looks like it is back then https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/s3google-translator/

Tools/Add-ons/Extensions, click the gear icon next to Search, Install Add-on from File..., select the xpi file in your download folder.

thanks both of you, all done.

another one....if i translate English to french i see that s3 tells me what it thinks i mean [in English] at the same time turning it into french. if i don't agree with what it thinks i mean is there a way of making it get it right

thanks

You would have to contact the add-on author for details, but I see there's a button to open the Google translate page, where you can translate your exact text and view the suggested text.

ive never known how to view the suggested text [if its in English]
