Will Firefox add translation capabilities in the future?
I changed to use from Google Chrome to Firefox, but I'm troubled because there is no translation function like the attached image. So are there any plans to add translation features to Firefox? If not, is it possible to write codes and commit myself?
Chosen solution
Firefox does have translation toolbar builtin for quite some time (2014), but this translate features hasn't been finished and isn't working. Firefox can detect languages.
- browser.translation.detectLanguage = true

Hi Goggle555, I don't know of any future plans but, for the time being, there are a number of extensions which can be added to help with translation. For example: To Google Translate
