I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

On Firefox mobile, First you click on the menu (three dots) Then more, Then translate, Then sometimes fill in the languages to translate from and to. (1. The auto detect source language feature doesn't always work 2. That's way too much steps, if I have to repeat this navigation for every page)

And after all that, 8 times out of 10 the pages do not translate. and stay stuck on attempting to translate.

Also sometimes it does not translate the whole page, especially on places you have to "click more to read" Or some context menus on both pc and mobile.

Also, everytime when reverting to the original translation, a page refresh is triggered which clears blocks that had been completed whether pc or mobile.

I do not use auto translate feature for accuracy reasons and some of the mentioned issues above.

I have been a Firefox user for a long time but had been using other browsers for pages that require translation due to it not being a feature on the browser at the time.

Now, after giving it a try for a year+, it's really lacking on both pc and mobile.

Mostly, I translate from Dutch to English and also Chinese simplified to English.

Would be great if some of these can be addressed.

Well, you know, for translation between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese, it's quite simple, people just need to replace one word's (if it has) simplified form to traditional form (or vice versa) without changing the word itself.

(Even if you want more changes, there are indeed some flavor difference about using which words to describe one thing. For example, 硬件/硬體，it means hardware, but 體's simplified form is 体，so there's a little difference on the selection of words. But at its maximum, it's still in order and in low amount.)

However the translation provided by Firefox processes this like it's a total of 2 different languages and it results in a totally different output. Moreover, the output losts almost all original logics (not literally “all” but a 25~50% can already ruin any translation), which means it's unreadable, it's not translation in any degree but a nonsense writing.

So, are you using a low quality machinery translation and by the logic SCh-En-TCh?

The translation quality of the mobile Firefox browser is poor; the translations lack precision and contain errors, resulting in awkward phrasing. I hope the translation quality can be improved.

When browsing a page using tranlation, it is often necessary to submit a response. Is it possible to automatically translate the response into the source page language before submission?

The browser recognizes Russian on the website as English and automatically translates it into "Russian," but what it actually produces is a jumble of letters that are neither Russian nor English. Essentially, the browser is translating from Russian—which I don't need to translate, since I'm from Russia—into an incomprehensible, non-existent language. And I can't turn off automatic translation of Russian because it's not available. There's a toggle switch: "Never translate English," but that doesn't work for Russian. You can click "Never translate this site" on the website itself, but the problem is that it's for a single website. It means I have to turn off translation and reload the website every time I visit a Russian-language website. This is very inconvenient. I ask you to add an option to disable translation of an entire language, not just English or a specific website.

I am in Bogota Colombia visiting my family and want to book a flight Bogota to Santa Marta but Mozilla doesn't allow me to book in colombian pesos but in American doblarse as if I was the US at the moment.

My Firefox download is German. I know only English. Is automatic translation facility available in Firefox? Say, can I translate pages in French Spanish or Russian in English?

Hi,

Please advise where I can get additional Languages that are not currently listed in your website currently. In particular I am looking for the Macedonian language.
