Very often the user has to deal with such a situation when in search necessary information on some blog he is directed through a link to a “foreign” site, and all the information there is in one of the languages ​​that the user does not speak. Either the teacher taught poorly, or he ran away from foreign language lessons, but naturally he cannot read anything there and, pouting his lips, writes an answer in a comment like: “What am I, a polyglot (a person who knows several languages), or what?” Classic situation, isn't it? But there is a very simple way out of it.


In the browser Google Chrome Website translator is built in by default:


But what should users of their favorite browser do? Firefox? The exit is as follows. Install a browser add-on called S3.Google Translator.
S3.Google Translator is a browser add-on Firefox, which will make it easier for you to visit non-Russian-language sites.
The add-on is based on the publicly available interface from http://translate.google.com/ and therefore has more than 50 languages ​​in its arsenal, from which you can translate into Russian into any language. Automatic detection of the original language is also available.

After installing the add-on and restarting the browser, you will see 1) in the browser. translator button and 2). translator panel located below the navigation panel:


How to use the translator?

As I wrote at the very beginning of the article, when redirecting the user to one of the foreign sites, click on the translator button, the additional window with a question Always automatically translate the specified site?:

Click the button in the additional window with the question Cancel and the site will be translated, i.e. it just won't translate automatically next time. If you press OK, then the site will also be translated and if you visit this site again, it will be automatically translated.

Or you can activate these functions in context menu translator buttons by right-clicking:


But that’s not all this translator can do. Suppose you do not need to translate the entire page, but only some part, a paragraph. Select this place as for copying and click the button in the translator Translate selected fragment, and right at the bottom of the browser you will see the translation of the selected fragment:

Or make a transfer single word/phrases. To translate a word/phrase from the site, paste it into the field of the same name and click the button to the right of the field with the letter A, and an additional window with the translation will immediately open:


Now you will not have a reason to puff out your cheeks and pout your lips when you are redirected to a foreign site.

Note. In my opinion, this translator is for Firefox in some respects it even bypasses the default translator for Googe Chrome.

Despite the development of the RuNet, most of the interesting content is still posted on foreign resources. Don't know the language? This is not a problem if you install one of the suggested translators for Mozilla Firefox.

Translate This!

Having installed the add-on, after going to a foreign page, you only need to click on the add-on icon, after which a new tab will be created in Mozilla Firefox, which will redirect you to the Google service page and display the translation of the page.

Hello friends! Today we will figure out how you can quickly translate a page in the Mozilla Firefox web browser, either the entire page or just a selected fragment. Agree, it is very convenient, when viewing interesting news or, for example, posts on Facebook, which are made in English, German and other languages, to press just one button so that everything written becomes clear.

So, in order to translate text on a website in Mozilla, we will need to install an add-on in the browser. We will also consider how to use a similar translator in Mozilla.

Installing an extension for translating pages in Mozilla

Opening new tab, then go to the “Menu” of the browser and select “Add-ons” from the list:

After that, write “translator” in the search bar and click on the magnifying glass to start the search.

In the results you can select any of the available add-ons. Under the name of each of them, its description is written.

If you need to translate only selected text or entire pages in the browser, then install “S3.Google Translator” or “Google Translator for Firefox”.

For example, let's install the S3.Google Translator extension. Select the appropriate item in the list and click “Install”.

You will then need to restart your browser. Click on the "Restart Now" button.

The fact that the add-on has been successfully installed will be indicated by an icon on the right side of the address bar.

If you want to go to settings installed extension, disable it or completely remove it from the browser, go to “Menu – Add-ons”, go to the “Extensions” tab and select the desired item.

How to use S3.Google Translator

Open the site whose text you will work with. Near the icon of the installed extension, click on the small black arrow and select the desired item. Let's translate the entire page in Mozilla. To do this, select “Translate page”.

If you need to translate separate fragment text or some words, first select them with the mouse.

A window appeared asking me to connect a widget, click “OK” in it. You will then be prompted to remember your choice; you can click “Cancel”.

Since the page was originally in Russian, nothing happened to it. But a line appeared at the top where in the “Translated to” section you can select the appropriate language.

The page in the browser will be translated into the selected language. When you hover your mouse over the text, the original text will be displayed in a pop-up window.

I will end here. We completed the main task and installed the translator in the Mozilla Firefox browser.

Many Mozilla Firefox users lack a built-in translator that can translate selected text on a website or an entire page. At least this function is not included in the browser by default, there are many plugins that supplement this functionality. In this article you will find a convenient page translator for Firefox from the proposed add-ons.

Browser add-ons

There are many solutions for Firefox that will help you work with text translation. All add-ons can be found at addons.mozilla.org. The most popular ones are presented below.

The translator is based on the publicly available Google Cloud Translation API code. It allows you to work with 80 languages ​​of the world, so there should be no problems with translating almost any page on the Internet.

What's interesting about S3.Google Translate is that formatting is not lost when translating page text. For the plugin to work, restart your browser after installation.

A good, simple translator, which is essentially a link to Google Translate. It’s very simple to use: select the text, press RMB and select “Selection” - translation for the selected text, “Page” - translation of the entire page. A tab will open for the finished translation by this request in Google Translate. Firefox does not need to be restarted.

This plugin is functionally an exact copy of the previous one. The difference is that the selected text is translated into open page, and the entire page is in a separate Google Translate tab. To start working with the add-on, install and restart your browser.

A good translator for more demanding users. It has about 90 languages ​​and a dozen functions that can be finely tuned to your requirements. After installation you will need to restart Mozilla.

A multifunctional translator that will appeal to users who constantly ask for text translation.

The plugin is a toolbar that is embedded below the bookmarks bar. All available functions are displayed on the panel, and by and large there are quite a few of them. The service will help you translate a single word, selected text or an entire page into any of 80 languages ​​of the world. Can also translate text copied to the clipboard.

Advice! The above plugins basically use the google translate api, that is, the power of the Google translator. At the moment there is no official add-on from the company for Mozilla Firefox.

Built-in Mozilla Firefox translator

In version 41 of the browser, the developers added the ability to work with a built-in translator that uses Yandex developments. The idea is great, but it hasn't been brought to fruition. After configuration, the built-in translator may work smoothly, may work every once in a while, or may not work at all. Apparently, this is why it has not yet been added to Firefox as a regular feature, but has only given users the opportunity to test it by first running required settings.
