Firefox Translate and Russian - support Russian translations

[drjlevi6]

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.

@Expwe made some changes recently which removed them, we will make them available again today or tomorrow.

@marcoany news on this? They don't appear for me.

[marco]

They should come back soon!

Just found out that Russian cant be translated!

Mozilla has so many "small" languages but not Russian are you serious?

Off back to Chrome 😞

[marco]

@goxy63we are working on Russian support, it is possible to test the initial models if you install Firefox Nightly.

@goxy63It's sad, but I cannot say you "No, do not use Chrome". It's just better. I see Mozilla and Brave on X and LinkedIn backbiting of Chrome for privacy and "caring about the user", but the thing is they should focus more on improving their service instead of spending their time speaking badly of other products.

Personally I find Firefox much better than Chrome, except it doesn't have built-in translation on Russian. It's not a problem for me, but because of this i can't recommend Firefox to my friends who don't speak English.

Hey all,

Support for Russian translations is being worked — you can also test it out now in Firefox Nightly. 

As always, please continue sharing feedback and ideas for ways to improve the Firefox experience 🙌

Good news...

We released a handful of new languages for translations today - including support for Russian ➡️ English translations. And we are working to make the translations go two ways (English ↔️ Russian).

Please feel free to continue sharing feedback/ideas for this feature and stay tuned for more updates.

@Jon @marco Thank you for the update and happy to see the progress on this!

It was the last thing that kept me from switching from Chrome to Firefox.

When is it come out to stable branch ?

[marco]

Russian to English has been already released. We are still working on English to Russian, hopefully we will be able to release it by the end of June.

@marcothanks for it ! will wait i really wanna delete google translate addon

[RTech]

Is there some expected timeframe for the release of English to Russian translation?

In light of the recent news about the removal of Manifest v2 in Chromium browsers, I feel obligated to recommend everyone to move to Firefox. But lack of this feature is preventing it.

@RTechlet me see if there is an updated time frame.
