## Description

This Chrome extension forces the display of the Firefox browser's translate button in the address bar, which sometimes fails to appear due to improper language meta tags or incorrect page language settings. By setting the page's lang meta tag to "en" or another specified language, the extension triggers the translation button to show up, enabling seamless translation of webpages. It is recommended users enable this extension only when necessary and disable or remove it after using the translate button to maintain browser efficiency.

Ideal for users who frequently translate non-English webpages in Firefox, this extension offers a simple and effective means to access the translation feature without manual page modifications or settings changes. For more detailed guidance, visit the Mozilla support page on website translation.
