A maintained fork of Google™ Translator by Andy Portmen, updated for current
Firefox versions.

Fixes translation failing with a misleading "addon needs to update some data
from translate.google.com"
message.

The extension relied on a single Google endpoint with no working fallback. When
that endpoint rate-limited a request, the error was discarded and the extension
fell back to a legacy API path that has not worked for years, blaming a token
problem that was never the real cause.

Changes in this release:

  • Translation now falls back across several endpoints automatically
  • HTTP errors are detected properly, with a per-endpoint cooldown instead of
    retrying a server that is throttling
  • Error messages now report what actually failed
  • Restored the dictionary and synonyms panel in the popup, which had silently
    stopped being filled in
  • Removed the dead token-scraping code and the content script that ran on
    translate.google.com
  • Optional non-Google fallback services (Lingva, LibreTranslate) can be enabled
    in the options. Disabled by default: nothing is sent to any third-party
    server unless you turn it on and enter an instance address yourself.

Installation: download the .xpi and open it in Firefox — or install from
addons.mozilla.org
