Browser is most used program by me and by most users of internet, so it is important for browser to be high efficient for daily routine. Altough browsers have embedded translation features and exists a lot of browser extensions for translation, all of them have bad quality and absolutely not acceptable for intensive use. This is why i've create Linguist - ultimate browser extension for translation.

      Note that Firefox has this translator built in if all you need is whole-page translation.

        … If all you need is western European languages translation. If you need to translate any African or Asian language, you are SOL.

          If you need languages other than “western European languages”, you’re SOL with this offline translator; whether you use it within Firefox or the extension.

    I have to say, the quality of the English translation doesn’t seem great at first glance… but between offline, no tracking, and open source, this is wonderful. Keep up the good work!

      It seems it’s also possible to add your own translation service.
      But, in any case the default is to use google translator so be sure to check it’s settings. It’s accessible from the installed addons menu of firefox. Click on this addon and then the 3 dots button in the corner, then options.

      Same applies for Text To Speech.
