Review by Dmitry
Rated 5 out of 5
by Dmitry, 9 years agoVery nice extension, but after the last update it just is not working. In languages only English and German are selected, in settings non of the checkboxes are checked and when I do check them and close the settings - they are not saved. Probably something has broken in my Firefox after latest update to 57.0.1, but other extensions work well, the problem is with this one. Will continue to investigate.. The rate is still 5* !

posted 9 years agoHi Dmitry, it's a known Firefox issue that it deletes all the storage of extension in certain cases: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3034189
We're working on a solution that could bypass this.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mikhail, 15 hours agoI stumbled upon this by chance and saw a bunch of 1-star ratings, which inspired me to write my own review.
I’ve been using this extension for 6 years now. Pros:
- It quickly translates any text you can select, either by clicking with the mouse or using a keyboard shortcut
- Killer feature: It has seamless two-way language switching. For example, if you’re translating text from Russian to English but at some point need to translate it back, it’ll figure it out on its own and switch the translation direction! Neither Google Translate nor any other service has done this.
- It rarely freezes. Over the past 6 years, I can count no more than 7 days when it froze on its own.
Drawbacks (for beginners; once you know about them, they aren’t annoying):
- If the internet connection drops during a translation, it doesn’t display an error message — it either keeps spinning for a long time or just disappears.
- There’s no description on the homepage of such a cool feature as seamless language switching (see above). That’s their oversight.
That’s all.
To complement other reviews: Pro needed only if you seek for a some extended features. Extension never required payment for using free version. If you are seeing promotion to make it Pro after installation, you at the extension' settings tab, simply navigate to other panes to make appropriate to you settings and close the appeared tab. - Rated 5 out of 5by 退出党团队远离中共邪教访问c88c.us, 16 hours ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by omegadir, 4 months agoAsk to pay before you can you ever start and without paying its basically useless. Another "pay now and gamble if its good" type of addon which is using AI to translate page into disjointed sentences. In another words a plain scam.
