I-Firefox Community Forum

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?

Hello,

I have installed the English GB language for spellchecking, but it doesnt show in the dropdown menu. It only shows Dutch.

Please help.

Same question, expanded. We're in the age of international browsing- Why when you choose a default language for the browser, doesn't it already ask if you want the page you're looking at (if not in the default language) to be translated? You guys are years behind missing a feature like that. Even internet explorer had that function.

If I search for something else it comes up in English. I have gone to settings and set my default as English. I have followed all the instructions, but I still get French. How can I change this. I am not French speaking.

It's checked in settings, the US english language pack is installed, I did the about:config thing as well and it's still not working. Oh yeah, also used troubleshoot mode - turned off all addons - and still doesn't work.

How do I get Firefox to stop flagging Canadian spellings as wrong when English-ca is my top preferred language in settings? I am writing a WordPress post using Firefox on Mac.

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 am currently in Spain, when connected to certain network parts of my page are auto translated to Spanish, even tho the whole page is usually in a different language and all of my settings are set to "English" I cannot find a way to change this specific setting as it seems to be linked to the provider of internet service directly?

I have downloaded downloaded language packs English UK and French France, but when I spell check in Mozilla the only option in the open menu for language there is only English US to use even though the other two preferred languages have been downloaded. Am I missing a trick to activate the languages so that they show in my language menu when spell checking?

Very frustrating that I only have a default of US considering I am in France and use French and UK English.

Hi I’ve been searching online relentlessly for a solution to a problem I’m encountering with Firefox. The font it uses for Persian language is extremely difficult to read. Consequently, I’ve switched to Safari, which offers a significantly better font for Persian.

Firefox also encounters an issue with hashtags on Twitter. The hashtagged words appear in the same font as Safari, while the rest of the tweet is displayed in the default Firefox font.

I’d really appreciate it if you could help me fix this. I’d also like to know which font Safari uses for Persian language.

Thanks.

Hello! Why do I get all of the Tools Menu in english when I've chosen Norsk Bokmål as standard language for my use at sites/streaming etc. What is the purpose of selecting the desired language if the tool options are only displayed in English?

Hello,

I am trying to change the idiom of Mozilla since september and I can´t do it. I is a computer of the department of education of the Basque Country, and I would like to change it to Basque.

I attach the capture photo of the scene.

Thank you.

Japanese characters usually do not render.

I can reproduce this issue by:

• going to the Wikipedia page for the katakana Unicode block.
• going to any YouTube comment with Japanese text.
• hovering over the screenshot of the YouTube comment so that the tooltip containing the name of the file is shown.

On YouTube the text renders only if 1.27916663885116563rem <= font-size <= 1.92083328962326036rem. Increasing `gfx.font_rendering.fontconfig.max_generic_substitutions` from 3 to 99 allows some punctuation to render and makes the text take up horizontal space. Further increase of the value to 999 causes the interpunct to render in the Wikipedia page.

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

How do I add the Translate icon to my Toolbar - W10 - please?

If I open the following page in Chrome it automatically translated from German to English. https://www.camperprotect.de/p/fahrer-und-beifahrertuerverriegelung-einbruchschutz-2006-2019

I cannot find how to translate it in Firefox. I do not have the Translate icon that is suggested.

Many thanks

Brian

Dlaczego zawsze gdy chcę przetłumaczyć stronę pokazują mi się -tłumaczenie z język polski na język perski? Zawsze muszę wprowadzać, że chcę przetłumaczyć z język angielski na polski na przykład. Nie wiem jak mogę to zmienić by móc szybciej przetłumaczyć konkretną stronę? Skąd zawsze pokazuje się ten język perski. Chcę by zawsze wskazywało mi,że chcę przetłumaczyć np z język angielski na polski i nie potzebuję ustawiać, by wszystkie strony tłumaczyły się na język polski. Może ktoś wie jak usunąć tą podpowiedź tłumaczenia z język polski na język polski i ustawić inną podpowiedź? Dziękuję wraz z pozdrowieniami.
