Automatic Translation of webpages

more options

FoxLingo seems to answer my problem of getting automatic page translation but it does not seem available. I have tried both ImTanslator and Page Translator Revised. They both corrupt the page they translate and page links fail.

Is their an Automatic Translator of webpages that works as well as Google?

Hi Dave,

I'm not an expert in FoxLingo but I'm pretty sure it's dead and gone: it's page is missing from the Add-Ons library and the author of it hasn't tweeted since 2012.

Most likely, you're going to have to find another translation tool/technique to help you.

Follow these steps in Mozilla Firefox

Step 1

Click the "Firefox" menu button, and select "Add-ons." Step 2

Type "FoxLingo" in the search box, and then press "Enter." Step 3

Click "Install," and then restart Firefox to activate the extension. Step 4

Click "Next" to install FoxLingo using the default settings. English will be the default translation language and FoxLingo will be accessible from the FoxLingo toolbar and the Firefox context menu. You can disable the toolbar or context menu display by clicking the check box beside those options. You can also change the default translation language by selecting your preferred language from the drop-down menu. Step 5

Click "Next" to maintain the default language translation and flag displays. By default, FoxLingo will enable you to translate pages to English, French, Spanish and Latin American Spanish, and the display flags will be the U.S., French and Spanish flags instead of the U.K., Canadian and Mexican flags. To add additional languages, click the "Options" button, and click the check boxes beside the languages you would like to access for translation. Step 6

Select optional add-ons to install, and then click "Finish." Step 7

Click "Yes" to enable site language identification features that will automatically translate pages based on the domain extension. Step 8

Click the "FoxLingo" icon in the toolbar, and select "Options." Step 9

Click the check box beside "Immediately Translate When Page is Loaded" and then click "OK." Foreign language websites will be automatically translated to English when you visit them.

Hi,

Thank you the quick reply. Following your instruction in the 32/64 bit versions 77.0.1 results in:

8,433 results found for "FoxLingo"

Nothing I try reduces the number of rsearch returns.

I still cannot find it!?

Cheers, --Dave

Hi Jeff,

I think your right. I could not find any trace of it. It is a shame since it is deal breaker for me to use FireFox.
