I think Fox Lingo is an ancient extension... not sure why that is still recommended.

Currently, I think most extensions require a user action to trigger translation because the old method of simply injecting Google Translate scripts -- or any scripts from random websites -- into the page is forbidden by the Add-ons site review policy. You can search on the Add-ons site and check features/reviews:

If you use one of the "monkey" extensions (Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, Greasemonkey), you also could consider user scripts. The monkey extension injects user scripts into the page. I created a userscript that creates a menu item to insert the old Google translate widget, which apparently doesn't give as good a translation as Google's more modern interfaces, but might be "good enough"?
