 @bert_hubert I ended up turning that off again after trying it since it got introduced, since it kept popping up when I didn't need it, and, AFAICT, only works on a site level, instead of, say, selected text? I may have missed something, but it felt very unintuitive. 13 comments
@bert_hubert This just feels weirdly unintuitive to me, as someone who works with multiple languages; “When you visit a webpage in a supported language, the translation panel will open automatically.” There seems to be no way to not have it do that, or turn it off altogether without digging into ‘about:config’. But hey, it's in beta. @bert_hubert @sindarina @bert_hubert @sindarina @bert_hubert @sindarina FWIW, there's a FIrefox extension that let's you translate selected text with a local LLM. I wrote about using it for translation here: https://sadlynothavocdinosaur.com/posts/translate-selected/ And the extension can be found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lit-prompts/  @sindarina @bert_hubert I use this extension https://browser.mt/ (which is probably the same thing, I believe, just packaged in a more palatable cover) and it works just fine for me. Including translation of selection.  @sindarina @bert_hubert you can select a piece of text, right click and click "Translate with Firefox Translations" to translate only that bit. Additionally the translation panel has settings which allow you to turn it off globally, or on a per-language and per-page basis. @gabrielesvelto @sindarina @bert_hubert Also, before it was integrated into Firefox, it was available as an optional extension which translates selected text & also offers a pop-up dialog you can copy/paste to & from. I'm not sure if it's still supported, but it's still available here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/  @gabrielesvelto @sindarina @bert_hubert is there a way to disable it for all the languages i already set in the list? @sindarina @bert_hubert Mozilla is currently working on the possibility of translating selected text. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1855907 and dependencies. |

@sindarina I can only say that this has not been my experience. But I have indeed not seen an option to only translate part of the text. According to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/website-translation that is not there.
