translation bar not available with Firefox 5.0
when will the translation bar be available with Firefox 5 - it will only work with verson 4.0 at the moment - so i can't use the updated version at the moment as translation of french sites is essential for me here in france.

Firefox is not likely to have its own Translator anywhere in the near future, and will not tie into Google translator due to privacy concerns.
You are referring to the "Google Toolbar" an extension created by Google and available on their site, and not subject to examination by Mozilla.
Google Toolbar Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox

You can use the Google translate with just a bookmark:
