Firefox website translator add on update#
Update 2: The original add-on linked in the first paragraph has been updated by its author.

Update: The Firefox add-on has not been updated since January 2008, which means that it is officially not compatible anymore with newer versions of the web browser.Īn alternative is the excellent Translate This extension which you can use to translate selected page on a web page. You can also do it manually by visiting the translation service and pasting the url to translate into the form field, but the extension makes it more convenient. Sure, you do not necessarily need the add-on to translate the website. The translator add-on is an excellent time saver if you have been using translation services before. You have to select the languages for quick translation by yourself. You may also select to add a quick translation option when the icon in the status bar is left clicked. The add-on can be configured to translate the website in the current tab, a new window, a new tab or the sidebar.

A right-click on that icon opens a menu with all the available translation options and a link to the preferences. The add-on places an icon in the status bar. You may change this behavior if you prefer Yahoo Babelfish, PROMPT, Altavista, FreeTranslation or IM Translator. The add-on is configured to use Google Translate as the default Translation service.
