OS:DEBIAN 13 FIREFOX:159.0B5 我正在使用翻译功能,但是当我添加选项 --remote-debugging-port=1234,再启动浏览器,发生了以下这些事情 1 屏蔽翻译功能 2 删除文件 {profile-dir}/storage/permanent/chrome/idb/3870112724rsegmnoittet-es.files/* 问什么会这样?

然后我又开启翻译功能,下载翻译语言包,下载完成后 使用右键翻译文字,提示不支持. 是的,不支持任何语言的翻译(包括英语) 请问一下,为何能支持中文繁体,而不支持中文简体?

I would like to use Translate to translate a conversation between two people automatically using English and Bulgarian.

To put each translation on the screen and voiced to the computers audio for both parties to listen too.

My spellcheck is stuck in US english and has been for months, I have several different dictionaries downloaded (both australian english and british english) and none of this is fixing the problem, I have looked at several other help questions with similar problems but all the advice is things I have already done. Please help for this is driving me crazy and I cannot deal with it constantly telling me my spelling is incorrect only for it to actually be correct for me

How about moving the pop up away from the original text, so we can see both at once?

Or show the original text in the popup as well? It really helps to be able to see both at once.

Otherwise, it's a bit of a hassle to use.

Thanks for considering!

I am using an online site to view PDFs of books. One that I am looking at is written in Japanese. But the writing is in some cases hand written on the pages, and not recognized as text by the browser. Yes, I am aware that I can take a screenshot, or maybe even a few pages worth of pdfs and then use google translate, I haven't figured out how many pdfs make a file "too big" yet, and I will eventually go this route if I get invested enough. But isn't there a way to have the browser simply recognized the text written in the pdf image as japanese, and translate it as I view it? Or, failing that, I've heard about a magic window you can move around kinda like a zoom lense that translates all language of one sort into a language of your choosing as you move the window over that part of the page.... but after looking around a bit, I'm having trouble figuring that out. Does anyone know how to do that at least? Or I'm open to any helpful suggestions that might be useful in the scenario I described here. I can't be the only one interested in texts written in other languages. I mean, what about the manga community? That's exactly where this would be relevant. Personally I am probably the biggest manga reader I know, but my interest in this case stems from wanting to read the text in origami diagrams. I'm leaving this because my kitten is being a pain in the ass and swatting my hands whenever i try to type and I'm already bordering on TMI so what say you Firefox forum people? end transmission.

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.

Hello Mozilla Support,

I'm experiencing an issue with how Firefox displays date and time input fields on websites when using Hebrew (Israel).

• • Environment:**

- Firefox version: 158.0 (64-bit) - Operating system: Windows - Browser interface language: Hebrew - Regional locale: he-IL

• • The problem:**

Date fields are displayed in the format YYYY.MM.DD (for example, 2026.10.14) instead of DD/MM/YYYY (14/10/2026).

Time fields also sometimes display their components in an incorrect order, apparently due to right-to-left (RTL) handling.

This issue occurs across multiple websites, including the standard HTML date input example on MDN, so it is not specific to any particular website.

• • Troubleshooting already performed:**

1. Verified Windows regional settings: Hebrew (Israel), short date format dd/MM/yyyy, and time format HH:mm. 2. Verified Firefox regional preferences show he-IL. 3. Tested intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales with both true and false. 4. Tested intl.locale.requested with he,en-US, he-IL,en-US, and he-IL. 5. Changed the preferred website language order to prioritize he-IL. 6. Restarted Firefox after making changes.

Unfortunately, the date issue persists, and the time field display is also inconsistent.

• • Expected behavior:**

Date fields should display DD/MM/YYYY, and time fields should display HH:mm in the correct visual order, while keeping the Firefox interface in Hebrew.

Could you please confirm whether this is a known Firefox bug and whether there is a supported workaround or a planned fix?

Thank you.

I've followed all of Firefox's suggestions for translating web pages without success. (I have the latest version of Firefox.) No translation panel automatically opens when I visit a page in French. I have no translation icon in the tool bar to click, and "translate page" doesn't appear in any Firefox drop-down menus. No translation options appear when I right click on the web page. Any suggestions?

My browser constantly tries to guess the language of web pages and offers me translations. These functions get in my way, I don't need them. How to switch off any translations (and translation offers) forever for all sites?

I want to install another language. Language selected, clicked ADD. Firefox sticks at "Downloading" with marker moving left and right. Why? And how do I install the language I want?

Hello!

I'm a Japanese user who recently started using Firefox, and I have a question.

I've noticed that Firefox's built-in translation feature is somewhat less convenient than those of Edge and Chrome, especially when I want to translate pages into my native language (Japanese) regardless of the language Firefox detects.

For some reason, when Firefox identifies a page as Japanese, it doesn't offer the one-click translation option, even if the page contains a lot of English text.

To work around this, I have to click the ≡ menu on each page, change the source language from Japanese to English, and then change the target language from Japanese to English.

Does anyone have any ideas for making this translation process smoother?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
