Firefox has translation built in now (Menu -> Translate Page), but it's really not up to the same standard as Chrome.

- It's slow.

- Automatic language detection rarely works.

- It only supports a few languages.

- For many sites it breaks the page.

I assume Chrome just hooks into Google Translate. Firefox translation works locally apparently. Hopefully the can improve it.
