With version 117, Firefox finally speaks Chrome's translation language
...
...
The Firefox version 117 feature list might not look all that
impressive, but it does have a big-ticket feature that may tempt
people back: automatic translation. The snag is it's disabled by
default in the release version, and you'll have to manually enable it.
Although it was enabled in the betas, Mozilla has decided to go for a
staged rollout and not enable it for everyone until Firefox 118 in six
weeks or so.
The new feature is integrated, privacy-respecting machine translation
between multiple languages. This was already possible in older
versions, but it needed an extension, and that had two side effects.
One is that the extension hooked deep into the core of the browser in
ways that Mozilla wasn't comfortable about, and the other is that once
your text had been sent out to a third-party website, it could be
snooped upon - but the victims of any snooping would blame the
browser, even if it wasn't the browser's fault.
...
...
To enable it, go to the configuration page (enter about:config in the
address bar), and search for a setting called
browser.translations.enable. Change that to True and restart the
browser, and the new feature should start working. If you go to a page
that's not in your configured system language, a new button should
appear next to the address box, offering machine translation.
