Add-on for page translation - Firefox.
Hallo, my dear forum friends...
Since ever, I've used google chrome when I have to browse on web-pages not written in English.
I am here to ask you if you know an add-on for firefox that will allow me to easily browse foreign-pages, like google chrome does.
I've tried several add-ons (by now I'm using the "Online translator toolbar vers. 1.3.7.15), but no-one behaves like Google-chrome.
Please, tell me which one do you use...
I thank you in advance!

Mmh... thanx anyway, but I don't want to select text or extra windows in which paste sentences... I would like to browse with all the page already translated. I would like simple to have every page in English, no matter what is the original language; and almost forget about it!
Like I do in GoogleChrome...

An old outdated method which I am still using today is with Google Toolbar.
All I need to do is set the default language to translate in the options and whenever I am on a foreign page, clicking the Translate button will do just that.

You could use a Bookmarklet...?

Yes. This was the method I was using before. I have to read again your paper on forcing compatibility, because I've now FF7 and apparently there is no Google toolbar for it.
However, I didn't like this method too much, because of the "pushing the button" issue. But if it is the only way...
And I have to check now the other advice: Translation Bookmarklets. Never heard about that.
Thanx, my friends.

you can try GoogleBar lite
https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/googlebar-lite/
it works fine, better than Google Toolbar (no longer supported) and it is just an add on

Ciao leofelix!
I gave a really fast look at googlebar lite, but I coudn't find how to translate a web-page by a simple click.
By now, I am just coming back to the "out-dated" google toolbar.
I will go more in deep later with the "lite" version, hoping there is that function as well...
Thank you.

in the italian version you will find "strumenti per le lingue" (tools for translations), when left clicking on GoogleBar lite icon

My dear Leofelix,
I always use English for computer related stuff! 
Now... a question for you: I've seen that in "Language Tools" and "Translate a web page" you can then navigate throughout the translated page; and that's pretty fine. I think I'm going to use this way. Is it sure that there is no way of adding in the GoogleToolbar a button to automatically detect the foreign language and translate it into English?
Cheers!
