I can't cope with the shitty translate on Firefox mobile, I live in a non English country and it's driving me insane

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Why not just switch it to English? I'm from non English country as well, most my apps are in English

He probably means the website translation function. Very useful for translating local websites, that aren't available in english, if you don't speak the language or not fluent enough

Because most websites are not English and every single time I want to translate a site, I have to use a drop down list to select English as the language to translate to.

Why don't you use the TWP extension? It includes even a DeepL option besides Google Translate and Yandex.

Thank you! I'll check it out

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

oh not the menu translation, but the local website translation. well I'm happy if that's your worst problem

btw, translation to english will almost always work the best, with any kind of service

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well over 50% of the sites on the internet are English so it is the most prominent language on the net.

I use the Firefox extension Immersive Translate exactly for this reason. Hasn't failed me yet.

Thank you, I'll give it a try.

There are some translation extensions that are much better than the built-in one. Still not as good as Chrome tho
