Translate Web Pages (TWP) is a small Firefox add-on for translating entire web pages. However, you can also use this application to translate only selected texts. If you install this add-on, you might feel reminded of the Google Chrome browser’s translation feature because the Firefox add-on icon in the search bar looks similar to the translation feature in Chrome. And in fact, the Firefox add-on works in the same way. Here are the main features of the add-on:
Features
The primary purpose of this Firefox add-on is to translate web pages from one language to another. When you visit a website, the tool automatically detects the language of that website. You can then click on the translate icon in the search bar and select the language you want the web page to be translated into. Another option is to select a text on the web page and click the Translate button that appears right next to the selected text. The translation will then be displayed in a pop-up window.
In the options, you can select the source language from which you want the add-on to translate and several target languages into which you want to translate the content. These languages can be set as defaults. By using this option, you can streamline the entire translation process, as you don’t have to keep selecting these languages.
Another great feature is the ability to display translations when you hover over a text. With this feature, the entire website is not translated, but only the sentence the mouse pointer hovers over. A text-to-speech feature is also available. If you don’t know how to pronounce a word or phrase, you can use this feature to listen to the selected text.
Translate Web Pages also offers many options for customization. You can change the keyboard shortcuts, the translation service used for translation (Google, Bing, Yandex, DeepL (only for text translation, not for translating entire websites)), switch between normal and dark modes, and much more.
Conclusion
Translate Web Pages is a great tool to translate entire web pages or selected texts. And its many options make it an excellent alternative to the translation feature recently implemented in Firefox.
