This might be enough to get it to at least fully load, but without resolving those above issues, I doubt it would do anything useful.Īnyway, I was hoping or maybe Rob/John now might be able to provide a better idea of what specifically would be required for TB to support this add-on.Obtain your email client configuration settings from Member Zone Along with replacing the content scripts with message display scripts as John mentioned above and similarly the page action button with a message display action, it uses the contextMenus permission and namespace for the context menu API (which TB does not support), so that would also need to be replaced with menus. I should note that the add-on does partially load into TB as is (with 4 warnings), but it of course does not work. It also uses nonstandard WebAssembly features to support SIMD. Notably, it uses an API to create a "Translation Bar" banner below the toolbar, which seem somewhat comparable to the currently also privileged TB notification bar API ( bug 1674002). I am not sure if these would be work in TB, especially in the message display area. Unfortunately, I believe it is more complex than that, as this add-on uses 3 experiment APIs, which are of course not available to regular web extensions. Since our message display is a webpage, this should be the only required change. (In reply to John Bieling (:TbSync) from comment #1) I am CCing this to as he requested the bug and might be able to provide a better idea of what specifically would be required for the Thunderbird team to support the add-on. Several other users have also requested this: The other option would be to use the Web Translate add-on directly in Thunderbird, but that (as the name implies) uses cloud services like Google Translate to perform the actual translations, which obviously do not preserve the user's privacy.įor reference, the source code for the Firefox Translation add-on is on GitHub. Currently the only way for users to do this while preserving their privacy would be by manually copying the email text to Firefox or by opening the webmail UI for their e-mail service in Firefox, but that is very tedious and of course defeats the purpose of using Thunderbird. This should be supported in Thunderbird as well to allow users to translate the subject and body of e-mail messages. The official Firefox Translations add-on allows users to translate webpages in their browser, privately, without using the cloud.
