Would love to use Firefox, sadly I have to browse many websites in foreign languages and Chrome has the best option for translation. :(

It may not live up to Google Translate (yet), but there is an official translation addon:

I'm really looking forward to seeing this improve.

[I'm also hoping that things like this and the Common Voice project might eventually lead to an open / privacy respecting Mozilla voice asistant service. Maybe that's just optimism, who knows?]

Try this: https://github.com/FilipePS/Traduzir-paginas-web IMO It's even better than the built-in translation of Chrome

WOW. This looks great. Thanks. I will be testing it for a while.

Have you tried add-ons?

I’m in a similar situation and the Firefox translation add-ons simply don’t work. Chrome is where it’s at.

I can recommend the simple translate plugin with uses Google translate. You can translate am entire website, vor just tue highlighted snippet

The most recent version of the plugin seems broken, so I had to revert to a previous version. Using this plugin for a few months now, and it works quite well.

when was the last time you tried them? the official mozilla one is certainly still behind chrome's, but it's leagues better than what was available on ff in the past

And how do you use it with Firefox?
