Firefox Translate Needs Better Translation Accuracy, Grammar, and Spelling

Description

Firefox Translate is a valuable feature that allows users to translate web pages while keeping privacy in mind. However, translation quality still needs improvement. Some translations contain grammatical errors, incorrect spelling, awkward sentence structures, or expressions that do not sound natural in the target language.

A translator should do more than replace words from one language with another. It should preserve meaning, context, tone, and correct grammar while producing text that reads naturally.

Mozilla should continue improving Firefox Translate through better contextual understanding, more accurate terminology, improved spelling and grammar, and more natural sentence construction, particularly for languages such as Spanish and English.

Privacy should remain a core principle. Translation improvements should not require users to sacrifice their privacy or depend unnecessarily on external cloud services.
