by CryoRage, 8 years agoTL;DR: Works as intended, even on Firefox Quantum 57.0.4 (64-bit).
As the name implies; it's simple, and it translates, while a great majority of other translation add-ons DON'T.
More often than not they seem only capable of redirecting you to a Google Translate page containing whatever website or blog or piece of text you wanted to translate. Seriously, anyone with a computer and two hands could do that. And that's why this one stands out: it might not be spectacular or anything, but at least it's capable of translating whatever you highlight and does so in a neat little textbox, all without disrupting your workflow.
Even though the actual translations can be a bit rough from time to time, i'm usually able to make sense of it nonetheless.
So if you're looking for a simple and easy to use add-on for on-the-fly translation, this might be your best option.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Yoksven, 6 days agoIt stopped working for me a couple of days ago. Every time I try translating anything i get "Error: Service usage limit reached. Please wait a while and try again". I was not doing anything weird with it, I'm not a heavy user, just translating one or two things every couple of days. I have been using it for years with no problems and I really liked this addon, but right now it's unusable for me because of this.
Edit: Somehow it fixed itself. - Rated 1 out of 5by Cato, 14 days agoWhen I try to put i t to swedish it goes to japenese every single time
- Rated 5 out of 5by Imota, 14 days agoOh my God, this add-on is amazing! One thing is particularly important to mention here, and that is customization. You can easily customize the pop-up window—its size, height, width, font sizes (very important!), etc. Pure gold. It works seamlessly.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19887784, 2 months agoDoesn't do anything automatically that firefox can't already do. Doesn't work on twitter or other sites with mixed languages. waste of space and time.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Andebyte, 4 months agoThank you for this excellent extension, it works really well. Would it be possible to add a pronunciation (text-to-speech) button to hear the translation? That would make it perfect.
