I\u2019m doing a series of blog posts about the extensions I use, and maybe you\u2019ll see one that you want to use.<\/p>\n<p>The first one is Context Search, which I&#8217;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/ilias.ca\/blog\/2014\/12\/my-installed-add-ons-context-search\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">already blogged about<\/a>.<br \/>\nThe second is Clippings, which I&#8217;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/ilias.ca\/blog\/2015\/01\/my-installed-add-ons-clippings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">also blogged about<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The third is <strong>gTranslate<\/strong>. gTranslate is pretty simple &#8211; it translates text you&#8217;ve selected using Google&#8217;s translator. I find that I use it most on Facebook. Sure, Facebook has a built in translation tool, but that uses Bing, and I find that the Google translator works better.<\/p>\n<p>On that note, if you prefer a different translation tool, there are probably other extensions that do the same thing, but use your preferred tool.<\/p>\n<p>To translate text on the fly, just select the text you want to translate, right-click on it, and move the pointer to the context menu item called &#8220;<em>Translate<\/em>&#8220;. It should auto-detect the which language you are translating from, and show you the translation. If you want to change the language being translated, you can do so using the sub-menus.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ilias.ca\/gTranslate.png\" width=\"575\" height=\"301\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can install it via the <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/firefox\/addon\/gtranslate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mozilla Add-ons site<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love finding new extensions that do things I never even thought to search for.
