Translate websites in Waterfox for Android - Waterfox Support

Waterfox for Android can translate web pages into your language. Translation happens on your device whenever possible for privacy.

Translate a page

1. Visit a page in a language different from your device language.
2. If a translation prompt appears, choose your target language and tap Translate.
3. You can also open the menu and look for Translate to open the translation panel.

Notes:

• The current tab remembers your choice until you reload or close it.
• You can switch back to the original at any time from the translation panel.

Translate selected text

1. Select some text on the page.
2. Tap Translate selection (wording may vary) to translate just the highlighted text.

Manage translation settings

1. Open Waterfox menu > Settings.
2. In Language or Translations, adjust:
   • Whether to show translation prompts
   • Languages you never want translated
   • Preferred target language

Manage downloaded languages

• Waterfox downloads translation resources as needed so you can translate even with limited connectivity.
• To remove a language and free space, open Settings > Language/Translations and remove the language downloads.

Troubleshooting

• No prompt appears on a foreign page
  • Open the translation panel from the menu and choose the language manually.
• A site looks wrong after translation
  • Reload the page, or switch to Show original. You can also disable translation prompts for that site from the panel.
• Language not supported
  • Some languages may not be available yet for on‑device translation.
