TWP - Translate Web Pages by Filipe Dev
Review by Firefox user 10206391
Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 10206391, 5 years agoVery handy & translates not only whole web pages but also just the parts of the page that are in a foreign language (ex: a foreign language comment in a string of English comments).
Just two things I don't care for and, though seemingly small, are annoying enough for me to disable it for now.
1) It may seem obvious to others, but I find the toolbar button's 'options' when clicked to begin translating confusing. I just want to click the button, approve of what options it's showing me, and click 'Translate Now', or some such button.
Instead, I'm like: "....now what? No actual button to click".
2) When highlighting a word or sentence in any web page (to copy / cut, etcetera) the little blue "G" translate popup button hovers over the highlighted word. This is annoying for two reasons:
a) It gets in the way of reading what's directly behind it (I know---it's small, but this seems a constant irritant). I *already* have the button in the address / tool bar to click if I want to engage this extension.
b) That little blue "G" button DOESN'T GO AWAY after the highlighted word / sentence is long 'un-highlighted'. You have to click a couple of times elsewhere in the web page to make it finally disappear.

- Rated 4 out of 5by rubytube, 14 days agoVery useful tool as it can translate dynamically created web pages like YouTube which is great, now I can read all YouTube comments more easer no matter what language, also asian language.
I experienced one issue: when browsing through camera lens models on dpreview.com it changes the formatting on the left side of the list of canon lenses.
It shows 4 lenses per row and the rightmost lense vanishes partially behind text on the right side of the webpage.
Then I have some wishes:
1. I would like to work with the deepl.com translator API where you can get a free API key and where the translation quality is better compared to Google.
2. Whats also missing, to be able to configure the translator in the settings. Currently you can only switch to another translator when viewing a webpage but later on it changes again to the default which is Google.
3. If you hover over the translated paragraph, then a pop-up window shows the original text, which is very useful, but it hides the translated text partially. It would be good, if the placement of the pop-up window could be parametrized better, so that there is a chance not to hide the original text.
Please fix the display issue and add deepl.com API as translator, make the default translator configurable and make the pop-up window placement showing the original text configurable. Then I am happy to give the full 5-stars.
A really great and useful product many thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17790593, 19 days ago
