Steps to reproduce:

I used Firefox translation. There are such rude errors, some parts of the translation re not comprensible.

Actual results:

I have to return to the original site in order to understand the website. That results in a unbearable forth and back.

Expected results:

There should have been a possibility to take a look at the original text without leaving the site, for example by mouseover.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Translation' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I'm re-wording this to be about having a way to show the original text. Can you tell me what languages you are translating to and from that is so bad? We have many translation models, and they aren't all the same quality.

Priority: -- → P3
Summary: Firefox translations: make original text visible by mouseover → Offer a way to show the original text after a translation

Hallo, i translated from English to German.
It translated "loneliness kills" to "Schönheit tötet."
Some other parts just didn't make sense. Especially if a sentence puts various things in relation to one another.

Thank you for adding this enhancement, confirming!
