User Reviews

The add-on is praised when it works, especially for its configurable destination language, but users repeatedly report reliability problems on Android/Firefox and across updates. When functional, reviews are positive (e.g., 4.0.2 works well, 'Exactly what I wanted'). Overall, the main theme is inconsistent availability and responsiveness, with occasional UI and bug issues accompanying periods of non-functionality.

Pros

Destination language can be configured in About.
When it works, it translates as expected (users report good performance in newer versions, e.g., 4.0.2).
Positive sentiment when functioning (examples include 'Exactly what I wanted' and 'Exelente').

Cons

Frequent non-functionality on Android/Firefox: clicking the extension icon often does nothing and no menus appear.
Inconsistent performance across Firefox versions; some updates fix issues, while others render it non-functional.
A reported minor bug involves Bing translation not working properly (e.g., blank tab or copy-paste workaround).

Is Translate Now 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

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.

Translate Now has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
