Firefox’s built-in translation feature actively gets in the user’s way.

When translation is actually needed, it often does not offer the translation function at all.

Google sometimes links to Reddit pages that have been automatically translated into Korean by AI.

https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1om0x4d/reddit_on_firefox_is_just_straight_up_broken/?tl=ko

That specific page appears in Korean, but when you go back to the Reddit homepage, it appears in English.

However, Firefox’s built-in translator still recognizes the site as a Korean website.

Even though all the page content is in English, the translator incorrectly offers the option “Korean → English” instead of the correct direction.

There needs to be a shortcut or option that always translates “English → Korean” when the user wants it.

Firefox should not decide when to translate or which language to translate. That choice should belong to the user.

Additionally, a dedicated keyboard shortcut for translation is needed.

I used the built-in translator for a while, but the inconvenience became so significant that I gave up and reinstalled a translation add-on.

Is this the right place to post this suggestion?

I previously posted this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1495577

Asking how to use the "intl.accept_languages" setting within the JSON for the new preferences setting within group policy.

A moderator posted this as a comment which I have only just noticed: "The value is a string, so it has to be in quotes "en-GB"" - the post is now too old for me to reply.

I'm still having issues using this setting even after putting the name in quotes. I've tried:

"intl.accept_languages": { "Value": "en-GB", "Status": "user" }

"intl.accept.languages": { "Value": "en-GB", "Status": "user" }

But neither work, please can someone clarify what exactly needs to be used within the JSON?

Yahoo Mail settings. When I use Yahoo Mail with Thunderbird for Android, the folder structure is displayed in English. I want everything to be shown in German. Everything works correctly with Gmail; this is only a problem with Yahoo Mail. I've set everything to German in my Yahoo account, but it's still displayed in English in the app.

What can I do?

Bonjour,

Sur un MacBook Pro sous OS X 10.9.5 j'ai chargé firefox 78.0.2 64Bit et il est impossible de changer le language pour le mettre en francais. Pouvez-vous m'aider, merci

Firefox: Sprache ein Mischmasch aus Deutsch/Englisch. Trotz dass die Einstellungen nur auf Deutsch, sind die Menüs in Englisch! Wie bekomme ich es hin, dass ALLES nur in Deutsch ist?

I'm using Thunderbird in Polish language. After upgrade to ver. 144.0.1 folder names for my only IMAP account have changed into English and fonts into capital (except inbox folder name). Attached screenshot shows discribed case in red frame - capital names are in Engliś and inbox is in Polish. Below in green frame there is my POP account and folder names are correct.

Hello Mozilla Firefox Team,

I would like to request that Firefox include the Somali language for website translation.

I choose Firefox because I have been told it is more secure, but currently, it does not support Somali. This makes it difficult for me to read news and websites in my native language.

Adding Somali support would provide a better user experience for Somali speakers and improve access to online information. It would also encourage me and others to continue using Firefox as our preferred browser.

Thank you for your consideration Abdi

Hello,all, The built-in translation button in Firefox disappeared on the Reddit website.

Please add a fixed access key for the 'Translate button'. I also recommend introducing an automatic website translation function. Thank!

I want to use Korean automatic translation, but unlike Chrome for iOS, it doesn't work at all in Firefox for iOS. What should I do?

I hope that the function of translating it into Korean will be possible on iOS

Or ios, make the extension available on Android

I am using Thunderbird with IMAP accounts and the Swedish language pack. My Inbox is correctly displayed as "Inkorgen", but other system folders like "Drafts" still show their English names instead of the Swedish ones (e.g. "Utkast").

In the folder properties dialog, it looks like there is a field for the display name separate from the server path, but I cannot edit it for system folders. For custom folders I can rename them, but not for Drafts, Sent, or Trash.

Is there a way to change only the display name of these system folders without altering the IMAP path? Or is this a limitation in Thunderbird's localization/mapping?

Dear Support Team,

I am writing to report an issue with the folder names in your program.

Although I have selected Polish as the primary language setting within the application, the names of system folders (such as Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts, etc.) are all displayed in English.

Crucially, on my original mailbox (accessible via webmail or other clients), these folder names are correctly displayed in Polish.

I have attempted to change these folder names manually within your application, but the changes do not persist, and the names revert back to English. There seems to be no other option within the app to correctly synchronize or change the display language for these folders to Polish.

Could you please investigate this issue and provide a solution to ensure the folder names are displayed in Polish, consistent with my language setting and original mailbox configuration?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely, Szymon

I dropped by to see if I replies to a query about Thunderbird. Sometimes the options to Login wouldn't let me in, it kept going to "Como colaborar" that went to a Page with mixed English and Portuguese, another page had mixed Spanish, Portuguese and English.

After a lot of translating, I made it my login. Wow! And my day has just begun. :) ~r
