Hi Have you contacted the add-on developer, or look for help at the add-on site or developer site? Hundreds of extra features are created separately, there might not be anyone on this forum who uses that one. It seems this one is not compatible with the latest (68.2) version of Thunderbird. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/s3google-translator/ You should find the developer's page and support from there. Agnes

thanks for that . trying to contact him is waste of time . also tb is up to version 68 i see, i thought my version 60.9.1 was latest. i will wait and see if anyone here can help m

have you tried clicking on the box with the translated text? IIRC it opens google translate in the browser, with all the options that entails.

.Just a note for the future. This is a Thunderbird support forum. Add-ons in general are not supported here, except for the few developed by the Thunderbird team. What this is not is a forum where you make a post and then wait around in the hopes someone will address your personal issue, someone will generally respond within24 hours and that is it. Opinion shopping is actively discouraged.

Matt, what is IIRC. the box is not clickable for me , but i did get to the site but cant find the option i need, any more ideas pls .

dont understand that about opinion shopping as im definitely not seeking an opinion although i did seek help with the add on [unless u call that an opinion]

is there a tb add on that gives the alternative translation i need. i cant search it as i cant find the right search term. it would seem to bean essential feature in a translation program

thanks

I just noticed that there is no compatible version of S3 translator to install in Thunderbird 68. What version of Thunderbird are you using?

60.9.1 32 bit although pc is 64

had s3 on it for ages thanks

AGAin im getting really confused about versions and noone will clarify i have tb v 60.9.1 and yet u talk about v 68, that must be in the future. whats going on. i see this a sometimes . i must have a very old version

Tb 68.3.0 is the current Release as the Tb 60.9.1 is EOL now with no more updates for it.

If you do not get internal updates then the 68.3.0 is available at https://www.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/all/

The S3 Translator extension was added to blocklist some twelve hours ago due to violating Mozilla’s add-on policies by collecting ancillary user data. https://blocked.cdn.mozilla.net/eac7bf16-aae5-4958-8b85-5dcc9a3a1ce8.html

thanks for that, i will delete s3 , any one know of a similar add-on to replace it preferable with ability to show alternative translations to the same input

S3 translator was the only one that was able to translate all the pages. Now i'm testing many different addons, but no luck so far, to find replacement. For an example this page that somewhat dynamically loads content row by row as you scroll down, it can not be translated with none of the addons, included google official translator web page. https://www.finn.no/job/fulltime/search.html?published=1&q=english

Mel not sure that u under stand what im looking for, heres my first post:

i cant find how to change its translation of what i enter into it [am not meaning the language] . i found this brilliant feature before but cant re find it now..

put another way it would give me alternative translations for the exact same input. thanks Mel said

i ONLY need to be able to translate english email text into french before sending, and have ability to choose an alternative translation as the first one is often not quite right if u find or know of one pls let me know thanks

Sorry, i didn't specify. For me the Firerfox automatic full web page translation is broken. Best workaround now is to use Google Chrome.

i didnt know there was a Firerfox automatic full web page translation i. where do i find-it pls
