Good news about page translation, Firefox is adding it, and it's all done locally too, no phoning home to their or somebody else's translation servers.

I wonder if there's an extension for Chromecast support? Might be worth looking into

Till then there is this open source extension which provides the same functionality including local offline translation

Sadly, no, there is no chromecast extension (which I am aware of).

Actually there is one, but it's not very good if I'm being honest ( but workable).

I'm kind of surprised that no open source project of renown has ever decided to implement that on Firefox well.

Just search for it from within Firefox, from the mods tab. That's how I found it the first time.

Don't know what to say, that's how I found it.

I'll try to remember the next time I am in front of my computer to look it up and post here.
