Web page translations are available in the latest beta builds of Mozilla Firefox. Google Chrome's built-in translation capabilities are something I find

    Been using a extension for this which unfortunately has to use Google as a backend. Happy to see Mozilla doing this and I cannot wait to have this feature fully implemented

      I just want a LibreTranslate add-on that I can point to my own server. Surprised that doesn’t already exist.

      Edit: Oh, it does. Just way down in the search results: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libretranslateclient/

      I have been using Linguist, which is an open source extension that works very well, you can translate a specific text selection or the whole text, and it even has an offline translator (using the Bergamot project).

      That’s a good point. I’m a little concerned about their future finances given most of their money comes from google search being set to default.

      I imagine they explored dumping Google, but all indicators show they would be on life-support for that decision

        Their contract with Google for having Google search as the primary search engine on Firefox, at least as of a couple of years ago, has been key in keeping the company afloat. I would be surprised if that wasn’t still the case.
