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

[–] Darkhoof@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Just get another translate extension.

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

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

[–] KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

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

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

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours 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

[–] ghurab@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

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