I'm surprised that Firefox Translate includes Bulgarian but not Russian in its list of available languages. It seems to me that the latter language is far more important.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

It had "Russian (beta)" in the add-on before they merged that into firefox itself (version 118). It wasn't the best translation but I found it very useful.

Now it's gone from translate and I can't use the add-on.

I agree; Russian should be included.

I agree. Russian language is a must. All other popular browsers have long been translated into Russian

@fshn, I looked up the add-on for translations; it says Russian is in the "development" stage. Wonder how long a timeline that equates to.

it is not Just the state of Russia which uses Russian as a second language.

Some companies are removing Russian translation in their products.

I don't expect some will be adding it. We are canceled, get over it.

@RTech  I didn't know about it, but just because in this period there's tension, doesn't mean you have to leave Russian untranslated. It's just a bad UX decision

@Allesandro: I agree entirely. Would you make Pushkin's poetry inaccessible to non-Russian speakers because of Putin? Putin's not worth it!

Hello

Firefox Nightly doubles the number of languages supported by the translation function https://forums.mozfr.org/viewtopic.php?p=947693

I do see from your post that there's a Russian forum (as well as the French forum of your link—pity that my French doesn't go beyond accepting the site's cookies!) But I don't know if this is related to interactive translation or not.

@Alessandro_, @drjlevi6  yes, of course you're right. I guess i'm just feeling really insecure about it.

There's great news! The new languages are: Estonian, Finnish, Icelandic, Catalan, Norwegian (Bokmel), Norwegian (Nynorsk), Persian, Russian, Czech, Ukrainian and Hungarian.

Hello

This clarification, given my demonstration under Firefox Nightly
You don't see https, and that's normal, browser.urlbar.trimHttps, default value true
An article https://www.camp-firefox.de/artikel/718-firefox-119-zeigt-nicht-länger-https-in-adressleiste-an

And for information on Firefox release
about:config https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox
Look for a preference browser.urlbar.trimHttps default value false
If you'd like to try true

Under Firefox esr currently 115
The preference, browser.urlbar.trimHttps, does not exist
Creating the preference, browser.urlbar.trimHttps, is useless

@RTechActually I was also hoping for Estonian

I'm using v121.0a1 Nightly but I only have the default languages available (the ones on stable). Is there some setting to enable the dev languages?
