Quick Translator is a Firefox add-on that can perform fast on-page translations of text. The add-on offers several modes of operation. It can translate selected text, the whole page or text entered into a form.
Probably the most used feature is the ability to translate selected text on a web page. It is possible to highlight a specific word, phrase, sentence or paragraphs and get them translated in no time. The extension displays a small icon next to highlighted text. A click on the icon displays the translation in the lower right corner of the Firefox window.
Translations appear more or less instant. It is possible to change the source language in case it has not been detected correctly. The target language needs to be configured in the add-on’s preferences before first use. It usually picks the right language but it is best to check the preferences anyway. Right-click the icon in the Firefox statusbar and select Preferences from the context menu.
