Please get language translation support, one of the most important issues

Translate in Firefox directly in the firefox right-click menu.

hello,if the browser could add a function of translation, I will love it very much. Everytime I need the translation I have to copy the website to another browser because of my poor English. o(╥﹏╥)o

Missing translation is the only reason I don't use Firefox. 😞

Make a good built-in web page translator

As the title said, we'd love to have a good built-in web page translator for Firefox. The closest thing to this is the "Firefox Translations" extension. However, the language supports is very lack-luster compared to offerings from Chrome or Safari.

There are other web page translator extensions available, but I think it should be up to the Firefox team to implement this feature since the translator requires access to all web pages.

This is the main reason I use a different browser.

Make a page translator, same as Chromium based browsers.

@JonI have 2 questions: 1. How is the review going? And 2. How long takes a review?

Thanks for following up here, @Jeppie

1. The review for this idea is going well—we should have an announcement here shortly.

2. Depends—sometimes pretty quickly and other times a bit longer. But we're working to improve this process and make it quicker/more standardized.

Hope this helps!

I'm trying the addons mozilla translator, there's still a lot of work to do, but the start is great.

@OkanAtasoy Nice suggestion. 👍 Just want to add more inputs on this issue,
If Firefox is adding an in-built translator, then it should focus mainly on privacy and convenience as almost all the Firefox recommended extensions we have now are opening in a new browser tab using the Google translator. Which is inconvenient. And few other extensions (Not Firefox recommended extensions) we have now are having in-page translators such as TWP extension. But these are not Firefox recommended extensions. So, Firefox should have an in-built translator with wider language support as @TuanAnh stated in this comment thread.
