Summary
This add-on may not work on some pages due to the Content Security Policy settings or other security restrictions on those pages.
This add-on automatically inserts Google Translate Element into the page. Translate the entire page without leaving page or opening a new tab. To translate without leaving pages or tabs, you need to add the following code on the options page. This executes the remote code for Google Translate Element. For this reason, this code cannot be included in the add-on. Because Mozilla doesn't allow add-ons to use remote scripts because they can create serious security vulnerabilities. So you need to enable this code on your own will. Do not use this code if you don't trust it or if you don't trust the Google Translate Element service. Adding code at your own discretion is the same as writing a script for Greasemonkey and its derived add-ons. If you live in China, the add-on may work if you change .com in the code to .cn. The function to translate without leaving the page will not work on some pages that have a Content Security Policy. For example it works on Wikipedia, but it does not work on GitHub. If you want to use this function even on a page with a Content Security Policy, you need to write the following Content Security Policy on the Options page at your own will. If you live in China, the add-on may work if you change .com to .cn.
In addition, there is a function to translate the selected text or the entire page in a separate tab, separate window or sidebar. You can use any translation engine such as Google or Bing.
In Wikipedia articles, symbols such as [3] that indicate sources and annotations appear in sentences. This often breaks sentences, and translation engines often do strange translations. To improve this, use an add-on that can delete these symbols.
