Hi. I went to Add-Ons in Firefox and enabled the Google Translator. [It now has a green tick next to it.] But when I go to a website, highlight some text and do a right mouse click, the "translate" facility doesn't show. So in my usual hopeless techie-ness I'm obviously doing something wrong !! Can anyone please offer help ?? [I'm trying to translate a walkthrough from Dutch to English.] Thanks. Mad

Let's see if I can try to muddle through. Although it's easy, I had the hardest time at first!
I don't highlight anything, I just tell Google Translate to translate the entire page. I think you click on the Translate add-on at the top and then there are some options?
My walkthroughs for that website are automatically translated to English, so I can't recreate it. I'll try another one.
Yay, I was right! I went to the Wildpark Schweinfurt website, clicked on the translate addon at the top and one of the options was "translate the page." Voila!
Once again, weeds are my life!

That's what I added Winfrey, "Google Translate by Juan Escobar", but when I highlight a bit of text on the site walkthrough and right click, a "translate" option doesn't show up ....
[I don't think what you describe can be via Firefox, Draclvr ?? I don't see a "translate" button at all either.]

I don't use any add-on. I go to https://translate.google.com/It used to work to translate entire webpages by typing in the URL, but rarely works that way any more. I think it only works on simple text webpages. Usually I have to copy chunks of the walkthrough, use the translator, then paste the translation into a Word file. It can easily take over an hour, especially if there are pictures I want to copy. Even back when it worked, it would only translate only part of long webpages, and the rest would be in the original language. There is an add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/to-google-translate/but as far as I know it has the same weaknesses as translate.google.com

OK. I've installed Chrome as an optional browser and now I can go to the walkthrough site, choose a walkthrough and translate the whole thing in one go - with one right click. PHEW !!!!  Thank you all very much for your MUCH valued help

I don't actually mind having Chrome as an option, Draclvr. [Although I won't use it as my default browser.] So I think I'll just stick with what I've got now, after all the messing about

I hate having to mess with even the most basic techie stuff, as you know, Draclvr, and as the Chrome setup let me translate a whole walk through with just one click .... well that did it as far as I was concerned Happy Bunnies all round  But I'm very grateful to all who take the time to try and help me. Yes Sir !!
