I wonder how Page Translator is missing on Firefox Android. Please Introduce a Page Translator.

(Here's a screenshot of auto detected page Translator from the Brave Browser.)

Thanks for bringing this up @Anonymous & @Jeppie -- and you make a great point, kudos/votes are only part of the decision making process. And hey we should actually have updates this week for some of these translation ideas. Stay tuned.

              @Jon thank you. I hope that's it about built-in and new languages because the other 2 are already available. You have text translation already and you can use firefox-translations already on android. What they can do is make it availble without using collection. sometimes i wonder if built-in is a great idea because it wil take more resources in firefox or am i wrong? But the option as built-in sounds nice too. One thing i'm wondering about if firefox-translations have all the languages or the most requested is mozilla gonna delete all translate add-ons from the add-ons store? Not really that i care because i use firefox-translations.

@Anonymous if you use beta or nightly you can use the collection add-ons option but if you use stable you need to wait until a translation add-on will become available like firefox relay did. Probably it will be then firefox-translations or you need to wait for a in-built option what is now in review.

        @Anonymous then those 2 articles are your only help. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/get-built-in-translation-feature/idi-p/5347  https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/translation-add-on-firefox-for-android/idi-p/286   Also do you want a in-built translation like other mobile browsers or do you want to have a add-on what now is available. If it goes in-built then it will be different then those chromium browsers because mozilla will use there own translation. The problem with that it hasn't many languages. The solution i got from someone is copy the website link into the google translate site and open the website with that. I do this for japanese websites until japanese is supported by firefox-translations. I also use this in firefox focus because if im done then is everything deleted. Also use a vpn for more protection.
