Hello all,
As you may be aware, Firefox introduced on-device translations on the desktop a few months ago and according to this knowledge base page it has been available since version 126, but unfortunately only on some unnamed devices.
Do you know of any way (i.e. preferences in about:config) to forcefully enable the feature?
Thanks in advance
browser.translations.enableto true.It’s already at true and Firefox does not suggest translations
Are you on a foreign page? Don’t think it shows if you’re on a page your phone recognises as native.
Yep, I went to the Italian edition of Motorsport.com with my phone set to French.
Edit: tried El País as well
Are you using Nightly? If not, can you test with Nightly?
It shows on Nightly, but I feel it will quickly become cumbersome to open links in Nightly just for translations.
Switch to Nightly. Hear me out. Nightly is a much cooler browser and you get to try things out, occasionally they mess things up, but it’s actually really stable and it has the feature you’re looking for.
I’m uninformed on this matter but it’s on “Studies” for me.
Aren’t “Studies” are just a fancy term for “limited rollout”? So I assume Mozilla controls them. Therefore I don’t think it’s a value in
about:config. I might be wrong though.
