Whether you are a Japanese language student in need of translation experience or a seasoned Japanese reader having trouble with a single line of online text, Firefox provides a variety of free, Japanese-to-English translation add-ons. With add-ons like Google Translator for Firefox, you can highlight a specific Japanese sentence for a quick English translation or transform an entire Japanese-language website into its English-language equivalent. You must disable the Google Translator add-on before switching to another translation add-on. To disable, click “My Add-ons” and click the “Disable” button to the right of the translator add-on. Not all Japanese-language websites require a translator tool. Before clicking on the “Translate” button, check the home page for the U.K. flag icon, which usually indicates an English-language version. Due to cultural differences, add-on translators do not always translate the language perfectly or word-for-word. Writer Bio
