Firefox Translations by Firefox
Review by Glort
Rated 3 out of 5
by Glort, 3 years agoIt's a cool thing that Firefox added its own translator as add-on. I hope it improves a lot and can become a competitor with Google Translate and Yandex Translate in the future.
Anyway, I tested it a bit on and I must say that for now it still needs to improve translations in some websites.
E.g.
- I tested it on Bandcamp and translated from English to Italian. Below the profile of an artist, there was written "Records" and Firefox Translations translated it to "i record", which isn't correct because there was the name of a label before.
(But at least this error was highlighted with red because I enabled the "Highlight potential errors in red" function, which is very cool in my opinion).
- I tested it on the Firefox Translations repo on Github and translated again from English to Italian. The "About" word of the About section on the top right of the rectangle with files got translated with "A proposito di"... Only a single word like "Dettagli" (details) or "Descrizione" (description) would have been correct.
Still, in the About section, "a webextension" got translated to "una web estensione", while at the beginning of the README.md the result of the translation was "un WebExtension"; both aren't grammatically correct. "un'estensione web" would be correct in Italian.
These are just a few examples to give the idea of what the translation errors can be and I hope this add-on will get better and better.

- Rated 1 out of 5by aha, 2 months agoHier funktioniert überhaupt nichts. Wie kann so ein Add-on von Firefox überhaupt veröffentlicht werden. Warum werden die 1-Sterne-Bewertungen ignoriert? Es ist doch offensichtlich, dass hier vieles im Argen liegt und bearbeitet werden muss.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Anymorf, 3 months agoНе работает, совсем. ни автоматически ни с выбором текста. не появляется ни выбора настроек ни выбраного текста для перевода, ни кнопки перевести. Абсолютно бесполезное дополнение.
и не стоит грешить на недоступность серверов или плохую связь - оно должно перводить автономно, качало словари для выбраных языков.
страницы загружаются, а дополнение - не загружается или сбоит на каком то из этапов включения \ распознания текста - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17130455, 4 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by I'm a Numbers Guy, 4 months agoThe extension works unreliably and there is no indication as to what went wrong. You can't click on the extension to force translate as in google translate.
This is one feature for which I switched to chrome long time ago and this is still an issue with Firefox. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19748576, 6 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Daia, 6 months agoNothing happens when you press it on address bar. It's very slow on the phone and not convenient at all, because you need to choose the language every single time.
