Originally I’ve build this addon primarily for Thunderbird 78 – because there were no compatible translators (and sometimes I get “support related” email in foreign language). If anyone’s interested in little back story: It’s not every day I see one of my addons getting this kind of attention on my favorite RSS channel (also congrats to the new page design!). Whoa, is that my addon? Thank you Ashwin for the nice review :). But, I think Web translate does an equally good job. I switched to Simple Translate last year (from "To Google Translate"), and have been quite happy with it.
The add-on is also available for Mozilla Thunderbird. According to a comment from the developer, this seems to be due to a limitation in the browser. The Chrome version doesn't support Google Translate in the pop-up/modal. You can toggle an optional Dark mode for the add-on's interface.ĭownload Web Translate for Firefox and Chrome. This also works for the context menu actions. The settings page has options to change the size of the sidebar, toggle the context menu options for translate text/page.ĭislike the pop-up interface? Web Translate can be set to open in a modal, or in a new tab or a new window. Select the option that says Translate Page, and Web Translate will open a new tab with the Google Translated version of the page in your default language.Ĭlick on the settings button and you can change the default translation service, you may choose from: Google Translate, Microsoft Bing Translator, DeepL Translator, Yandex Translate and Baidu Translator. Visit a web page that is not in your default language, and right-click anywhere to access the browser's context menu. The UI is a pop-up window, and it may look familiar if you're using the Group Speed Dial add-on, that's because both extensions are written by the same developer. The add-on places an icon on the toolbar, which you can use to access its interface. Web Translate is an extension for Firefox and Chrome, that displays the translation of the selected text in a pop-up or modal, and also lets you choose the translation service you want to use. But you know how it is, sometimes the translation makes no sense, and you may want to try a different one. Normally, I paste the lines into a translation extension that I use.
While translating the entire page is a good idea, sometimes I may only need just a sentence or two to be translated. Every once in a while, I visit websites which are not in a language I'm familiar with.
