Firefox Translations by Firefox
Review by Juan G.P.
Rated 5 out of 5
by Juan G.P., 3 years agoThere are people who expect translations like Google's.
Google is a multi-billion dollar company that has the resources to create highly refined products in a short time. That's not to say that doing a translator takes little time, let alone that it's easy.
However I quote a question from a user who gave a star, why does that happen?
"Questions : Why does 'Firefox Translations' connect to [o1069899.ingest.sentry.io] AND TO [incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org] AND TO [storage.googleapis.com], to the latter in particular? What privacy when a Google server is aware that user lambda is calling it?"

posted 3 years agoHello Juan. The first server is used to report errors in the application and the second for telemetry. You can disable both on about:addons -> Firefox Translations -> Preferences and switching off the first two options. The last server is where our models are stored, and despite of its domain name which is due to GCP, it's a Mozilla property and Google does not have access to it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19159361, a month agoIt doesn't work at all, click on icon does nothing, so it's totally unusable (on FF 140.0.4 64 bit). Moreover, it does not support the language I want to translate to. So I tried it so you wouldn't have to.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19012334, 3 months agoDoes nothing when I click on the translation icon. At first I thought it was because Dutch is not supported language, but out of curiosity I tried Bulgarian website and it doesn't work either. No error messages, nothing.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14356857, 3 months agodoesn't work. cannot select any languages in the popup anymore. useless crap. had anyway only a few languages. lately mozilla is getting worse in many aspects. and help pages are often useless or give wrong advise.
- Rated 2 out of 5by A.VanEss, 4 months agoEvery time to click on Firefox installation I get a page that asks I want to remove it. It never takes me to a spot where I can input a phrase etc that I would like translated. What am I missing? Or better yet what are you missing?
