WetGeek In the interest of full disclosure, one might point out that Vivaldi has also had this functionality (for a long time). Google is banned from my computers, so if the foreign text is being sent anywhere (which I doubt), it's not going to Google.

Seems like it's not quite the same as Firefox' new implementation as the data still gets send to Vivaldi's servers, but they at least claim it's encrypted and not readable to them.

WetGeek I don't very often view a web page that's not already in English.

The most I usually translate is someone's question in the forum. Vivaldi is great for that.

I tried to add the above sentence to my original message, but of course, I wasn't allowed to. 😑

Translate from English to French:

Return to the original language of the web page:

And there it is.

    how do I get the translate icon shoehorned into my address bar like yours is? I am extraordinarily lazy and tired tonight.

      I could not find the thread for some reason
      But about my issues updateing well had the desktop off for a month or so fired it up today and used it
      tried the updates and it worked on the desktop so its all current now (will see if it continues to work I had it in the past work once and not work maybe its in one those moods..lol)
      But the laptop for some reason is a no go still for some reason.
      Oh well.

      Well the laptop did update this time but with alot of time outs
      I dont think these problems are on my end will see if they continue to work.

      This went in last week, but thank you for adding amdgpu_top. Radeontop and Core Control couldn't see my card at all, but AMDGPU TOP not only sees it, but gives a lot of useful information on power, loading, etc so I can see the card is working correctly. Great package.

      EbonJaeger Everything appears to be fine on Budgie. Thunderbird required re-entering passwords for my spam-bucket hotmail/live/outlook accounts, but that was a change in Thunderbird, not an update problem. Thank you everyone for the updates! You are appreciated!

      olivir Yes it can with the specific icon in the adress bar.

      I probably should have known that, but as I said, I have very little need to ever translate anything but someone's question here in the forum. That icon isn't displayed, of course, unless there's something that needs translation, so I'd never noticed it.

      I found out that if you go to the Vivaldi settings, and type translate into the search textbox, you get a full-page education on the subject. E.g., there are keyboard shortcuts for translating a tab, a view, or a page.

      I noticed one thing in relation to this Firefox novelty.
      If the displayed web page is in the same language as that of installing your Firefox, the icon
      located on the right in the address bar does not appear; if this web page is in a different language, this icon appears and offers you to translate its content into your language, which seems rather logical.
      For instance, if you have installed Firefox in the English language, the icon will not appear for all the web pages in this language, but only in a different language and will therefore offer you the translation.

      In the dialog box for this function, you can find a number of parameter settings:

      Likewise, in the Firefox settings:

        penny-farthing I noticed one thing in relation to this Firefox novelty.

        Vivaldi works the same way. I agree, it makes sense. There's no reason to offer a translation to your first language, if the website you're looking at is already in that language.

        penny-farthing , if you have installed Firefox in the English language, the icon will not appear for all the web pages in this language, but only in a different language and will therefore offer you the translation.

        gotcha, thanks for taking the time to explain this to me.

        Steph This issue has been resolved in unstable and the fix will be in the next sync. Firefox will now automatically adapt to the system locale, and this setting should persist through future updates. You will not need to install any languages manually, the correct one will be installed and configured automatically. Note that existing Firefox profiles will be in English the first time you launch them after the update, but subsequent launches should be in the correct language.
