- Rated 2 out of 5by ShannonL, 2 months agoThis used to work like a dream for me but something changed. Now it doesn't auto-detect the correct languages and there is an annoying pop up that shows the original text that blocks me from clicking on links. I disabled the bubble pop up thinking that was the causing the problem but the pop up window is still there. I also tried to fix the auto detect by going into the options and to set the language manually. Now it's not translating pages at all. I am going to try to reinstall in hopes that fixes the issue but I have doubts because it will most likely just cover over the previous installation.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14080119, 10 months agoНормально работают только оконные варианты. инлайн поначалу работал хорошо, но как всегда пытаясь улучшить делают только хуже. он просто не переводит 2/3 запросов. то ссылка ему мешает, то запятая не та. как хочет, так и посылает. в едже встроенный перевод в 10 раз лучше работает. никаких сбоев. переводит любую закорючку. неужели не настроить инлайн нормально? самый востребованный вариант, и самый кривой.
- Rated 2 out of 5by jonniez, a year agoI would absoluetly love this app for the in-line translator, but it is so hit or miss for getting it to work! When it does work, it's AMAZING, but on most pages it doesn't even start, no matter how many times I click on the button in the context menu or use the keyboard shortcut.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Herbloblogist, 3 years agoPlastered with donation requests. Frustratingly obtuse options. Only one voice for English. Sub-par as a TTS program.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15191636, 3 years agoNie polecam! Korzysta z TTS google, a ogranicza możliwość odsłuchania tekstu do 200 znaków!
- Rated 2 out of 5by USER-EXPERIENCEONLY, 3 years ago3-27-25: demoted one star. Their icon keeps showing up for no reason and you must turn off addon to get rid of it
10-10-24: the best translator addon I have tried. Not perfect, but good.
1-28-24:The only translator that works 90+% of the time. For this you must accept their browser hijacking to force feed you ads and other BS. I guess a small price to pay, but is it really necessary? Easy to use, quick and works most of the time.
9-16-23: Still hijacking your browser with mis-direct to their ad page. Works better than all the other translators if you can live with that.
9-22; another one of firefox's browser hijacker addons. Malware. Loads their webpage without input. This is what you get from "recommended" ffox addons-malware.
6-1-22: may have infected mymachine with hijack to it's site. Problems with website coming up on browser with no input. Hijack this found malware hijacking this site in dns. After cleaning with hijack this problem went away. too intrusive with it's floating icon when you never asked for it to load. Does work MOSt of the time, but not always.
update 2-13-22:
less and less universally working. Does not work on many pages and does not give translation for cebuano or filipino. Better than the others I have tried though.Need to add translation of entire web page that works. Google does not work often.
started out good about 4 mos ago, now getting flaky. Icon appears without input. some pages cannot send to translation or does not work when translate page is activated. Still pretty good though but not as convenient as I first thought. Still having to use an outside translator, particularily for webpage translations. - Rated 2 out of 5by TELLALL4ALL, 4 years ago3-30-25: works well but their floating icon appears when u never activated the addon and is annoying as hell blocking the rest of what you're trying to view.
2-5-25: The best of the addon translators Works most of the time
10-20-23: only translator that works most of the time. Problem is they want to hijack your browser to force feed you their ads so they install code to do that-a form of hacking used by malware. Also you can't get rid of their traveling icon which appears even when this BS addon is not activated. Hackers.
11-3-2022: correction: doesn't "act" like malware. IS malware. Hijacks your browser to open with their crap adpage w/out your permission. Enuf said. Sometimes just doesn't load or work. cannot block this behavior via firewall, very intrusive and dishonest.
7-20-22: acts like malware. Every time you load your browser hijacks you to their webpage. Cannot get rid of this malware feature, neither by firewall or hosts. It works better than most of the other translators, but at what cost? Relies on google translate to get the job done so you sending your data to evil google.
Have tried about 6-7 translators and this is the ONLY one that works. Enuf said. And it's quick too. - Rated 2 out of 5by HonestReviews, 4 years ago12-21-24: works more often on windows than other translators. widget for app appears on pages when not even called for. intrusive hijacking of browser to their main page-not welcomed.
11-25-22 Malware hijacks your browser to load their spam advertisements. Nuf said.
10-2-22: Malware "recommended" by Mozilla. Hijacks your browser to span you with their ads. Works about 80% of the time. Better than google translate though which requires you give up your privacy with their cookies to use it.
9-2-22: STILL INSTALLS MALWARE on your machine hijacking your browser to auto load their webpage w/out your input. Reported to Mozilla and they did nothing about it. Next Mozilla's going to be recommending trojans and RAT addons for your browser.
update 12-11-21: serious bug in using inline translation. Locks up computer win 8.1 requiring reboot. cannot be used for inline translation as a result. Frequently fails to initiate translation without additional clicking on "translate". Sometime fails to translate at all. went from good to much worse in a several months.
Update 6-23-21: Inserts it's annoying animated circle when logging into your email account even when you never clicked on the extension. And this annoying animated circle has no text so you don't know where it's coming from.
Have tried maybe 5-6 add on translators. This is the only one that actually works. Fast and good translations for selected text. Great addon. way to go imtranslator 6-22-21Developer response

posted 4 years agoTo translate with a shortcut key hold the Alt(default) key BEFORE or AFTER selecting the text with the mouse. The Bubble Translator will pop-up with the translation.
You can set any permitted shortcut key using the Pop-up Bubble Options menu.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 5974554, 4 years agoTried to translate entire page at: https://ichbinanderermeinung.de/Dokument93.pdf
Misleading info.
Had to copy/paste and the whole page was NOT translated.
I expected a new tab open with a translated to English page. Nope. :( - Rated 2 out of 5by juan, 5 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Nícolas Justin, 6 years agoIt is one of the best translators I have ever used, but in this last update of (Aug 27, 2019), it started to use a lot of RAM (8Gb), surely it must be some mistake.
