Like on Google Translate page, there is a button in the middle to swap the From/To languages effortlessly.

Could something like this be implemented on the Translate Selection popup window in Firefox?

Hello

You can type about:translations in the address bar.

+1 I would love to have that button in the "Translate Selection into <language>" pop-up as it often offers to translate into the text's original language (e.g. Translate Japanese text from English into Japanese which doesn't make sense).

Translating sentences: Rapid language switching

A button between the two language options would be great.

English -> German
German -> English

A button (perhaps an arrow moving in a circle) toggles the order from German to English, and clicking it again would switch back to English -> German.

Sorry, this is the German version.

Now fast switching from deutsch -> englisch with a button would be better than choose manually.

Do you have examples of websites where this would be useful?

Google Translate has this button that I actually use quite often.

Additionally, it would be important if, when working with 3 or 4 languages, the list of recently used languages ​​(let's say 5 languages, plus an `about:config` option for the number of languages) were displayed at the top as "Favorites" in both the source and target languages ​​(this speeds up workflow).

I would also appreciate having "about:translations" as a button for a custom toolbar (opening in a new full-screen window).
