Add-on summary
NOTE: The features previously offered by this extension are now integrated into Firefox, eliminating the need for any additional installations.
Firefox Translations provides automated translation of web content. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, translation is done locally, on the client-side, so that the text being translated does not leave your machine.
It can be installed on Firefox for Android Nightly or Beta by following these steps.
