Hi, I would like to ask, if there is any way or any plugin, which allows me to set preferred language of content for SPECIFIC website. I mean something like Tools->Options->Content->Languages setting, but not for whole Firefox globally, but just for one website.

Example: I prefer all websites in Czech language, so in language settings I have set Czech language on first place and English on second place, in case CZ is not available. Unfortunately, some English websites are translated to Czech by algorithm, which doesn't translate the content correctly, so I prefer the site in the original language instead. So i would like to set DIFFERENT preferred language for that website ONLY.

What should I do? Do you know any addon, that might help me?

Thanks

Hi, thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, this addon can only change the language of Firefox user interface, websites stay untouched.

Some website have an option to change the display language. For any others, try using a translator add-on.

You can also use translator web pages to try to change the page for you. http://www.bing.com/translator and https://translate.google.com/

Such options are often set by cookies, so if you wish always to see the particular website in that language then as long as Firefox remembers the cookies (It does by default) then once you have set that it will come up correctly on the next visit.

If you wish to simply experiment or try a language as a one off use the Private Browsing mode and the changes will not be saved. In future there will probably be an option to use separate containers to untangle such things.

Otherwise the current method of achiving a similar result would be to use a separate Firefox profile
