And as so often with Mozilla has the translation-feature an awful user experience. It's not showing itself, unless you are on a site with a supported language.

And as so often with Mozilla has the translation-feature an awful user experience. It's not showing itself, unless you are on a site with a supported language. And supported means, the language-pack is installed. How are people supposed to discover this? Additionally, the auto-discovery seems to appear only once per domain? I tested it on Wikipedia, and after the first article, it never shows up again. But I guess this is ok, after all that dialog is Fu*ing huge. Couldn't they choose something more subtle? It's their own browser, they should have all the ability to make proper integrations for something like this. This is overall a really great feature, which could have great use for people, but as it's now, it's more likely to be removed again in a while, because "nobody is using it", like so often in the past.

You can disable that the dialog shows up, then it's just a subtle icon. That it often doesn't show up at all is indeed a bit confusing. I can translate german to english or french to german, but english to anything doesn't seem to show up on english websites even thought it's an option when I'm on a non-english website. Well, it's a beta, so I assume this will change.

Thank you for that, I was wondering why the address bar icon wasn't showing up for me. You need to go to the settings, search for Translations, then click install all packs.
