FirefoxTranslations, download(s), my incompetence

more options

Hi

I would need some help

Example. Let's say I'm using FirefoxTranslations to translate an average-sized article, on Wikipedia, from German into English.

On the top left hand side of the screen, FirefoxTranslations tells me it has downloaded 17'140'835 bytes.

It always seems to be the same amount of bytes. This is downloaded for every single translation.

I thought that, once downloaded, the vocabulary would be stored, locally, on my computer. Permanently.

Doesn't look like it's happening.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help

Christian

It's possible that the downloaded vocabulary is being stored locally on your computer, but in a temporary location that is cleared every time you close the browser or restart your computer. To confirm this, you could try checking the Firefox cache or temporary files folder to see if the downloaded files are still present.

I suppose I've managed to find those folders

There are files, many files, but I've got no idea which ones are the relevant files (all files have incomprehensible, for me, names). What's the name of the file I should be looking for??

Also, when I know which file is which, what should I do with such file(s) ??

Thanks for your help
