I do not live in Estonia, I don't know estonian, I don't have estonian set as a language anywhere in firefox or any other settings, I don't have any estonian language packs downloaded, the only time I was involved with it was when I accidentally clicked on 'estonian' instead of 'english' when trying to translate a page (once, I clicked on it accidentally once as far as I remember, one single time and no more. Only one time this happened. Once), and it somehow just can not cease asking me to translate pages to estonian, anything that isn't in english, somehow it tolerates that. Actually how does this happen and how do I fix it

Firefox stores certain temporary data in a startup cache to improve startup speed. Clearing the startup cache and then restarting Firefox can sometimes fix various issues, such as mixed languages in the user interface after an update. This will not change your profile data or add-ons.

I'm sorry but this is garbage.

I see posts here from five years ago asking about this, and fixing this issue is a non-trivial process particularly for those not computer literate enough. It should literally just work out of the box with zero issues like EVERY OTHER BROWSER.

Crap like this is why I dumped this browser years ago, I guess I was right to do so.

I speak more than one language and want to have transparency and control of the content. Therefore I always want to see any website in it's native language first.

My preferred situation then would be to have a menu in the tab where I may choose a translation. In the case of a multi-lingual site I want to have those languages as additional options on top - with an indicator for the sites default language. So I may first choose the sites language, then (possibly) into which that is translated into.

But at present I can use only the settings of preferred language for multi-lingual sites, never knowing what language was the base for the content. (Presumably the most accurate content of the website.) And I can add languages for translation and sort them, while - weirdly - I cannot delete them later as there's no control element for getting rid of (maybe accidentally) downloaded ones.

Is there a solution already? Did I miss something in the settings? And: Where is the „translation panel“ to which the settings „Translations - More translation settings“ refer to in the block „Never translate these sites“?

Every time I open a new site or webpage, the automatic translation window pops up. I don't need translations and I have to choose "don't translate this page" again and again. I've searched everywhere on Firefox and I can't find a way to stop this. It is extremely intrusive and annoying. I don't understand why Firefox should decide for me what I want and what I don't want. Has anybody solved this problem.

Please,

I have a Debian 11 VAIO laptop, with Firefox ESR 115.14.0esr 64.

I have tried the settings menus (there is nothing about translation there, not even in languages.

Tried as well the about:config (several entries).

Nothing happens, annoying auto-translation bar shows up all the time and automatically translates several languages.

Really can't stand any longer...

Please help!

Appreciate.

My primary google account's language is set to english. If I search normally, then the results are shown in english. If I open a private window and search in google, the results will try to be in the regional english and google asks if I want to switch to english every time.

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

Reporting a bug:

"Firefox can’t update your languages right now. Check that you are connected to the internet or try again." but - Connection is established, INDEED!

German language pack not available :( manually downloaded verisons of german Language pack are incompatible.

please fix.

Description:

In Firefox version 135.0.1, when navigating to a website by clicking a bookmark or by pasting a URL (without first activating an Asian language input method in the address bar), Asian language input methods are inactive within webpage text fields. Only English characters can be entered. Switching languages or input methods has no effect.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Open Firefox 135.0.1.
• Navigate to a website by clicking a bookmark or by pasting a URL into the address bar (do not activate an Asian language input method in the address bar before navigating).
• Click on a text field within the webpage.
• Attempt to activate an Asian language input method.

Expected Result: The Asian language input method should activate, allowing the user to enter characters in the selected language.

Actual Result: The Asian language input method remains inactive. Only English characters can be entered.

Workaround: Clicking on the address bar and activating an Asian language input method there enables the input method to function correctly in webpage text fields afterward. This workaround persists for all webpages within the same Firefox window. Alternatively, if the user first types an URL into the address bar, while using an asian language input method, the problem does not occur.

Environment: Browser: Firefox 135.0.1 Operating System: Windows 11 Input Methods: Microsoft Chinese Input and Microsoft Japanese Input (both exhibit the same issue) Websites: Google, Bing, Yahoo and other websites.

Additional Information: This issue does not occur in Microsoft Edge.

Right now when I right-click to translate a word or a full page, it automatically picks one of my country’s regional languages as the default. I only want translations to go to English, but I can’t find any setting in Firefox to change that. How do I make English the default (and only) translation language?

Dear Mozilla Firefox Developers, I am writing to request that you consider adding Ukrainian language support to Firefox's built-in web page translation tool. The Problem Currently, Firefox lacks the ability to translate web pages into Ukrainian. Ukrainian is not available in the list of supported languages for translation, and users have no way to add it manually through browser settings. Why This Matters

Large user base: Ukrainian is the native language of over 40 million people worldwide Information accessibility: Many Ukrainian users need to translate English and other foreign language content Competitiveness: Other browsers (such as Google Chrome) already support translation into Ukrainian Inclusivity: Adding Ukrainian language would make Firefox more accessible to Ukrainian-speaking users Injustice of current situation: Firefox includes Russian language - the language of an aggressor country that is waging war against Ukraine, bombing civilians, and occupying Ukrainian territories. Meanwhile, the language of the heroic Ukrainian people, who are defending their independence and democratic values, remains unavailable in the browser

Technical Feasibility Mozilla Firefox uses its own Firefox Translations tool based on machine learning technology. Given that quality machine translation systems for Ukrainian already exist (Google Translate, DeepL, and others), technical implementation of this feature is entirely feasible. Important note: If Firefox already supports Russian language, then adding Ukrainian should not present significant technical challenges, as both languages belong to the Slavic group and have similar linguistic characteristics. This makes the absence of Ukrainian even more puzzling. Our Request We ask you to consider:

Adding Ukrainian to the list of supported translation languages Ensuring quality translation from major European languages (English, German, French, Spanish, etc.) into Ukrainian Providing the ability to translate from Ukrainian into other languages

Benefits for Mozilla Adding Ukrainian language support would:

Expand Firefox's audience in Ukraine and among the Ukrainian diaspora Increase loyalty among existing users Demonstrate Mozilla's commitment to linguistic diversity and inclusivity Strengthen Firefox's market position in the region Show support for democratic values: Adding the language of people defending freedom and democracy would be positively received by the international community Make a morally correct decision: At a time when Ukraine is heroically resisting aggression, supporting the Ukrainian language would be an act of solidarity with the Ukrainian people

Alternative Solutions If full integration of Ukrainian requires significant resources, please consider:

Partnering with Ukrainian tech companies to develop a translation module Creating an API for integrating external translation services Adding an option to select external translation services in settings

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your work in creating a better internet experience for all users. With respect and hope for a positive decision, useronelex!

Hello,

as you can see in the image I can't select German as spellcheck language even though I have installed the German dictionary. My Win OS and the browser use English but I want German as spellcheck as well.

What I am missing?

Thanks
