Firefox Translations by Firefox

Rated 3 out of 5
by Glort, 2 years agoIt's a cool thing that Firefox added its own translator as add-on. I hope it improves a lot and can become a competitor with Google Translate and Yandex Translate in the future.
Anyway, I tested it a bit on and I must say that for now it still needs to improve translations in some websites.
E.g.
- I tested it on Bandcamp and translated from English to Italian. Below the profile of an artist, there was written "Records" and Firefox Translations translated it to "i record", which isn't correct because there was the name of a label before.
(But at least this error was highlighted with red because I enabled the "Highlight potential errors in red" function, which is very cool in my opinion).
- I tested it on the Firefox Translations repo on Github and translated again from English to Italian. The "About" word of the About section on the top right of the rectangle with files got translated with "A proposito di"... Only a single word like "Dettagli" (details) or "Descrizione" (description) would have been correct.
Still, in the About section, "a webextension" got translated to "una web estensione", while at the beginning of the README.md the result of the translation was "un WebExtension"; both aren't grammatically correct. "un'estensione web" would be correct in Italian.
These are just a few examples to give the idea of what the translation errors can be and I hope this add-on will get better and better.

- Rated 3 out of 5by NoirRaven, 3 days agoDoesn't cover Asian languages at all which is no good to me. It was also incredibly slow at appearing at first and requires manual selection of a language in order to work. What's the point of letting it access all websites if it doesn't auto-detect the language a site is in?

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18838485, 6 days agoIt is very good, but it could be a lot if I had any way to hide the upper bar and make it more discreet

- Rated 3 out of 5by Botanist6223, 24 days agoOn my phone, this is working flawlessly. But on my work windows 10 it displays a (i) and no information, just plain totally broken but I read that I'm not alone so I hope it will be fixed for the windows 10 version of firefox eventually.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13018498, a month agoEr ist schon sehr gut, schafft aber auch nicht alles direkt zu übersetzen. Bin trotzdem zufrieden und dafür gibts gute 4 Sterne..
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12714602, a month agoDer letzte Dreck, total unbrauchbar mich!! nach fast einem halben Tag sinnlos verschwendeter Zeit fliegt der scheiß Müll wieder vom PC bevor ich den irgenwann aus Versehen vor lauter Wut aus dem Fenster kloppe!!!!....
Kein Wunder, dass Google schon ewig der Marktführer ist, wenn es um schnelle und inhaltlich korrekte Übersetzungen mit möglichst richtiger Grammatik für fast alle möglichen Situationen und Geräte ist und es wohl auch immer bleiben wrid!!...
Es ist scheiß egal welchen markierten Text oder welche Webseite von ganz egal welcher Sprache in irgendeine andere übersetzen lassen will..
Jedes verfickte Mal kommt eine erbärmliche Meldung!!
Darin steht auch zielstrebig der selbe Fehler, nämlich
"Beim Laden der Übersetzungs-Engine ist ein Fehler aufgetreten"
und man kann versuchen und tun was man will, es ändert sich rein gar nichts darn!!
Wie gesagt, allerletzter Scheißdreck!! DANKE FÜR NICHTS!!

- Rated 4 out of 5by FFReviewAccount, 2 months agoWorks good. 4/5 because they could have more languages but I'm sure it will come in time.
