Will the translation still work?== While the translation feature primarily focuses on the main language of the webpage, it may not handle pages with mixed languages or content in multiple languages optimally. ==Can Firefox translate pages that are password-protected or behind login screens?== Yes, Firefox can translate password-protected or login-required pages, as long as the content is fully displayed on your screen. The translation feature works on any webpage content that Firefox can access and render. ==How do I revert a page to its original language after translation?== To revert a page to its original language after translation, click the toolbar icon and select {button Show original}. ==Why do I need to install languages?== Installing languages enables Firefox to perform translations locally within your browser, prioritizing your privacy and security. As you translate, Firefox downloads partial language files to your browser cache as you need them. To pre-install complete languages yourself, access the language settings in Firefox Settings, {menu General} panel, in the ''Language and Appearance'' section under ''Translations''. ==How can I report incorrect translations?== You can help enhance Firefox translations by reporting inaccuracies through [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdoRWnsHX6vVnGIRyLi4Kl-p0GrmeVIioqWsTz3aVTRfLScng/viewform this form]. =Related articles= *[[Use Firefox in another language]] *[[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]] *[[Search suggestions in Firefox]]
