Firefox Getting Translate Selected Text Feature, Here’s How to Try It

By: Lucia Leszinsky

A handy new translations feature is in the works for Mozilla Firefox that should help speed up translating short snippets of text from one language to another.

Firefox 118 introduced a privacy-respecting web page translation feature, and Mozilla devs have continued to improve on it in subsequent releases

But sometimes you don’t need or want to translate an entire web page just a portion of text on the page.

Plus, given that Firefox translations take place locally to preserve privacy the task of translating every bit of a text visible on a web page can be a little on the slow side (on my machine it is, anyway).
