While Firefox fails to translate pages, Vivaldi already allows translating selections

Firefox fails to translate

It is difficult to understand. The latest version of Mozilla web browser arrived and one of the novelties that they mentioned as something important was improvements in the print mode. Has been 50 million people who have stopped using it, and many of you commented something on which I agree: Mozilla has insisted on covering a lot and squeezing little, on getting into eleven-rod shirts, when what it should do is improve its Firefox. It is not doing it at the speed it should, and a good example is the translator you already work for.

Right now, that translator is in the Nightly and Beta versions, but disabled. And it is logical, since it is of little or no use to users whose language is not English, the only language to which it translates. While Firefox struggles to translate pages, Vivaldi It already does it in a native and decent way, and its latest Snapshot, which are the development versions, already allows us to translate selections. What a difference.

Firefox will translate web pages ... someday

Vivaldi Snapshot translating selection

I know that Vivaldi is a web browser that not many of us use. It is designed for demanding users, and comes by default functions such as the split screen, the mail and calendar client or the web page translator. Ready also will allow us to translate a selected text, and it perfectly detects the language to be translated and which one. This is something that I personally like a lot: I do not translate the pages in English, but something may not understand it. With this function I no longer need to pull DeepL and I can know what it says without leaving the page.

Firefox is the only real, cross-platform alternative to Chromium from Google, so we can only hope that Mozilla takes it more seriously and, at least, improves its speed and design. Because yes, the image has improved somewhat, but at the same time it has been loaded, at least, an upper part that is much larger than in previous versions. Anyway, Mozilla, get on your feet if you don't want to keep losing market share.
