Features & Capabilities

Firefox Translations offers automated, privacy-focused translation of web content directly in your browser. Unlike cloud-based services, all translations occur locally on your device, ensuring your text remains private and secure. Supported by the Bergamot Project and the EU Horizon 2020 program, this extension helps users translate multiple languages including Spanish, French, German, and more. The functionality is now integrated into Firefox, so no separate installation is necessary, providing a seamless and trustworthy translation experience.

Supported languages include Spanish, Estonian, English, German, Czech, Bulgarian, Portuguese, Italian, French, and Polish, with ongoing development for Russian, Persian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Ukrainian, and Dutch. Ideal for Firefox users seeking private, offline translations without reliance on cloud servers.

Is Firefox Translations Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Firefox Translations requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Firefox Translations has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
