How to translate pages into Russian in Mozilla - step-by-step instructions and recommendations. Installing an automatic web translator in Mazila
With the advent of various Internet services, there is no longer a need to go into the ABC book to translate each line. There are many browsers and undoubtedly the leaders are Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and the hopeless IE. Well, I won’t talk about the last one. Chrome has a built-in page translator. There is currently no built-in translator for Firefox users, but there are many plugins for easy translation from different languages of the world. Let's look at a couple of them:
Installing the app for Firefox is easy. On the official website of add-ons for Firefox, find the add-on that is suitable for you, click the Add to Firefox button. After this, the application will download, after which you can activate it (you may be asked to restart the browser).
To deactivate/activate applications, click on the orange Firefox button, select the Add-ons - Extensions tab, there you can both delete and activate them.
Translation plugins for Firefox
- a dictionary, also with great capabilities such as: translation of web pages, text translation, automatic translation, support for language speeches, grammar checking, search with translation - search for foreign pages using terms written in Russian. Plus the addition of links to sites for learning languages.
Agree, the built-in translator in the browser is much more convenient, of course, I’m not comparing it to a primer, than online translation services, for example Google translate. Simply because it’s faster, and everything is at hand.
Yes, of course, you can find your own, more convenient plugin; to do this, go to the official page with plugins for Firefox.
Any Internet surfer who visits foreign resources and uses the popular Mozilla web browser, but does not have sufficient knowledge of foreign languages, knows how difficult it can be to navigate a site map or delve into its contents. Naturally, translation will be required here.
Next, several basic solutions to the problem of how to translate pages into Russian in Mozilla using several simple techniques are proposed for consideration. At least two of them can be distinguished. They differ somewhat in the translation algorithms used and the principles of use, however, they can be used for quick translation at the everyday level without any problems. We are not talking about professional translation here, but this will be enough to understand the general content of the text part of an Internet resource (especially since ordinary users, as a rule, with rare exceptions, do not have to deal with complex technical documents).
How to translate pages into Russian in Mozilla? Basic methods
Let's start with the fact that today the problem of translating the content of any Internet resource is in most cases solved through the use of special plugins (add-ons) that are integrated into the browser software environment, since with the browser installed, so to speak, in its pure form, such tools are included in the program toolkit No.
However, you can also use some classical methods, which are no less effective, although they look somewhat cumbersome and the translation takes longer.
- use of online translators;
- working with the S3 Google Translator add-on;
- using the Quick Translator add-on.
Classic method
So, first, some classics. In Mozilla, you can translate a page into Russian using special online translators, among which the machine translation system on the Translate.Ru website is most suitable for our user.
To translate, just copy the source text or a fragment of it from the website, paste it into a special field on the translator’s website, select the direction of translation (meaning from which language the text will be translated) and click the start button of the operation.
If the user does not know exactly what language is used on the page he is visiting, he can simplify his actions by setting it to be automatically detected. In addition to everything, the user can select the topic of the translated text in order to get a result as close as possible to the original (for example, when using special technical terms).
As is already clear, the method is not very convenient, since you will have to constantly copy and paste. In addition, the translator itself has a limit on the number of characters for a one-time translation, and machine translation in this system, although considered one of the best, can look somewhat clumsy in some situations. This, by the way, applies to all such systems, including those that will be discussed below.
S3 Google Translator Add-on: Installation
Despite all the shortcomings of automated translation systems, one of the most interesting and popular additions is a small add-on called S3 Google Translator.
Installing it in the Mozilla browser is quite simple. To do this, in the settings you need to go to the add-ons section so as not to spend a long time searching for the plugin, set its name in the search bar, and then click the install button. In a few seconds the add-on will be integrated into the browser.
After this, you must click on the hyperlink to restart the browser.
The nuances of using a translator
In Mozilla, you can translate a page into Russian in two ways: either in its entirety or using a selected text fragment.
In the first case, on the panel that appears after integrating the plugin into the browser or via RMB anywhere on the page, you must select the “Translate page” line from the menu. You may then be prompted to automatically translate that site in the future. You can agree if you visit this resource often enough.
In the second case, you must first select the desired fragment of text and in the same way select the line “Translate selected fragment” from the menu. Upon completion of the translation, in both the first and second cases, a small window will appear in which the translated text will be displayed.
Again, this method is somewhat inconvenient because the plugin in Mozilla cannot automatically translate the page into Russian directly when entering the site. You have to constantly select commands from the menu. The only option is to confirm the translation automation on repeated visits to the resource.
language in Mozilla browser automatically?
In this regard, the Quick Translator add-on looks more interesting, although the translation in it is not as correct as in the previous case. The fact is that this add-on, even when visiting a foreign resource for the first time, immediately independently determines the language of the text content.
That is why the user simply needs to confirm the translation, and not use various menus and commands, although this possibility, together with the use of “hot” keys, is also provided.
What to give preference to?
That’s all regarding the solution to the question of how to translate pages into Russian in Mozilla. Naturally, not all translator add-ons were considered here, but only the most popular ones. What to use for translation? In most cases, users prefer S3 Google Translator. This is due to the fact that the plugin is built in the image and likeness of its older brother - the original Google Translator, which has a fairly large language database (supports about 50 world languages).
However, if for some reason the user needs to translate text on a certain topic, he will still have to turn to online machine translation systems like the one described above, despite some of its shortcomings. But in this case, you can get a translation that is truly as close as possible to the original.
Translator for Mozilla, helps translate pages from English into Russian. Some users encounter a problem when it is not possible to read information in English. There are several extensions and methods for language translation that can be used in practice. In this article we will look at them.
Hello friends! If you already have the Google browser installed, then, in principle, the translator should be the default. You don't have to do anything to translate this or that page. Almost always, in many versions of Google, a page can be translated automatically.
You just need to go to the page and right-click to select an item from the menu - translate into Russian. Then, the entire page that was displayed previously will be translated into English, and you will be able to read its original. This is one of the ways to translate pages. And then, we’ll look at how to install a translator for Mozilla.
Unfortunately, the Mozilla browser does not have such a translator function as in Google. It can be customized, but this is a very long process. To easily translate pages, you will have to install a special extension.
Let's move straight to practice. Launch the Mozilla browser. Please note that on the main page of this search engine there are three features that are located at the very top of the browser. Hover your mouse cursor and click on them to open a menu where you need to click on the add-on function. (Figure 1). 
When you go there, you will see that there are two sections - get add-ons, and expand. We need to move on to the second section. There is nothing special there, but look carefully at the search where you need to enter the name of the extension. This must be done to find and install it. The name of the extension is translate. Just copy and paste the extension into the search field and press Enter on your keyboard.
(Figure 2).
As you can see, many different translators appeared in the search results. One of the fairly effective extensions is S3 or the usual Google translator, which is in first place. Choose the second option and click on the add button. Now you will translate pages as automatically as in the Google browser. Only for this you need to select a separate text, and subsequently use this translator for Mozilla.
Translator for Firefox, Google Translate extension
Not all people like the translation method with such an extension. In this case, return to the extensions section and find the button to remove this extension. Google Translator is installed in the same way as in the previous version.
Page translator for Firefox – Simple Translate
Translator in Mozilla Simple Translate translates the entire page at once. You can also install it through extensions. Add this add-on to Firefox and check the method in action.
Go to some site where the page is in English, and choose from the menu to translate the entire page. Wait a while, since everything depends on the volume of the written text. This takes a few seconds, after which you will see Russian text.
Hello friends! Today we will figure out how you can quickly translate a page in the Mozilla Firefox web browser, either the entire page or just a selected fragment. Agree, it is very convenient, when viewing interesting news or, for example, posts on Facebook, which are made in English, German and other languages, to press just one button so that everything written becomes clear.
So, in order to translate text on a website in Mozilla, we will need to install an add-on in the browser. We will also consider how to use a similar translator in Mozilla.
Installing an extension for translating pages in Mozilla
Open a new tab, then go to the “Menu” of the browser and select “Add-ons” from the list:
After that, write “translator” in the search bar and click on the magnifying glass to start the search.
In the results you can select any of the available add-ons. Under the name of each of them, its description is written.
If you need to translate only selected text or entire pages in the browser, then install “S3.Google Translator” or “Google Translator for Firefox”.
For example, let's install the S3.Google Translator extension. Select the appropriate item in the list and click “Install”.
You will then need to restart your browser. Click on the "Restart Now" button.
The fact that the add-on has been successfully installed will be indicated by an icon on the right side of the address bar.
If you want to go to the settings of an installed extension, disable it, or even remove it from the browser, go to “Menu – Add-ons”, go to the “Extensions” tab and select the desired item.
How to use S3.Google Translator
Open the site whose text you will work with. Near the icon of the installed extension, click on the small black arrow and select the desired item. Let's translate the entire page in Mozilla. To do this, select “Translate page”.
If you need to translate a separate fragment of text or some words, first select them with the mouse.
A window appeared asking me to connect a widget, click “OK” in it. You will then be prompted to remember your choice; you can click “Cancel.”
Since the page was originally in Russian, nothing happened to it. But a line appeared at the top where in the “Translated to” section you can select the appropriate language.
The page in the browser will be translated into the selected language. When you hover your mouse over the text, the original text will be displayed in a pop-up window.
I will end here. We completed the main task and installed the translator in the Mozilla Firefox browser.
If you are reading this article, it means that you have probably already encountered problems (to one degree or another) with the language barrier while working with overseas web resources. A Chinese store (even without English localization!), a letter from technical support from some service in German - and so on. The language is unknown, and even cry. But there is no need... I mean, cry, or generally get upset. A translator for Firefox will help you. This, of course, is not a person - a specialist who knows from A to Z, for example, Chinese or French. But it performs automatic, so-called machine translation. And not everything in it is smooth and smooth, but the meaning can still be grasped.
The Yandex browser has a built-in module for processing foreign articles and inscriptions, but the translator for Mozilla Firefox must be installed independently (connect the addon to the web browser).
There are a lot of translators for Firefox, and each of them is good in its own way. However, we will take a look at the best extensions for Mozilla Firefox.
Note. You can download and install any add-on discussed in this article from the official Mozilla website (addons.mozilla.org).
