Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 13576768, 5 years agoClunky and slow sometimes, but powerful
Slow: As someone coming from the instant translation world of rikaichamp etc. the half second wait time for the translation feels pretty bad. I understand that translating any language requires online connection though, so this is pretty unavoidable. Edit: There's offline caching in the iOS version
Clunky: Many powerful options, but many of the ones actually useful for me are clunky. E.g.
- Disabling the popups takes 4 clicks, a new tab, and at least 15 seconds. For an addon that changes the appearance of the page whenever one selects any(!) text, this should be a huge and obvious switch right in the toolbar options.
- When a word is selected, the "translate page" right click entry should disappear, so I don't have to navigate my mouse through the tiny 25px "2 options here >" line
- The phonetic transcription, and voice pronunciation, is for the translation target? I know how to pronounce English
- Options in the on-page popup open the settings page for some reason, instead of e.g. changing the target language
- Missing the click on the small popup icon unselects the selected text and leads to frustration. It should be possible to increase the clickable area (with visual feedback when mouse hover) without increasing the icon size

- Rated 1 out of 5by Misha, 9 days agoThe button in the top right corner of the page is blocking Discord's function buttons, making it difficult to close windows such as search.
- Rated 5 out of 5by mjrini777, a month agoI really truly do love this translation app, it's easily the best one I own and have owned!!! :)
- Rated 3 out of 5by 000000, 2 months agoNot the best and smartest translation. The best use of it is as a dictionary.
Outdated UI. Need option to sync the theme with the system. - Rated 1 out of 5by Mr.Andersan, 3 months agoЕщё установить не успел, а уже заплати... Самый тупой "развод" на премиум акк.
А в итоге удалил нах эту блевотину умудрённую и бестолковую... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17325730, 3 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Cam, 3 months agoLe meilleur de tous les traducteurs en ligne (et j'ai essayé presque toutes les extensions de traduction automatique).
Je l'utilise généralement sur des sites de fanfictions : c'est pourquoi je donne un avis si dithyrambique. Rien, en effet, n'est aussi complexe que la traduction d'un récit.
Il est également très pratique de pouvoir voir dans une petite fenêtre la phrase originale : il suffit juste de passer sa souris juste au-dessus de la phrase en question.
Notez enfin que je ne me sers que de la version gratuite (non professionnelle). - Rated 1 out of 5by Pavel Moiseenko, 5 months agoI again cannot log into my account in extension because of the error {"driver":true,"name":"MongoError","index":0,"code":17419}
For the first time, this problem occurred with my original account, then they added a license to my second account, but now I get the same error when logging in through the second account.
I wrote in support of the extension, at first, they responded, but for the last six months, they have simply ignored my requests. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18512180, 5 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by winphreak, 6 months agoAdd-on does not work in Firefox for Android 127, the translated side never displays any text.
Any other feature, including dark mode, requires pro version which is a subscription. $4 a month or $30 a year.
Best to skip, and definitely not worth the subscription price tag they expect 🤣 - Rated 1 out of 5by Kamil, 7 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by kib, 9 months agoSuddenly stopped working in firefox. Can't access settings menu or login, buttons trigger no reaction. Tried old version of firefox, no effect, in chrome works perfectly fine. In android version of firefox, i enter my email and progress bar never ends.
