User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:130.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/130.0
Steps to reproduce:
Website or selection translation in FF have their own internal Dicionary
Actual results:
I use DeepL Translation extension, and i now have double the context menu items on right click, with the native build in Translation
Expected results:
It would be awesome to have a setting in FF to enable or disable the build in translation menu.
OR even better have an translation API where the internal one is registered just like the external extentions, they can then register and you can choose the one you like to use.

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

Hi xuedi, thanks for filing this.
It would be awesome to have a setting in FF to enable or disable the build in translation menu.
At this time, I don't think our user-experience team has any plans to add an official UI option to disable Translations features.
OR even better have an translation API where the internal one is registered just like the external extentions, they can then register and you can choose the one you like to use.
We have discussed this as a team in the past, and we may explore options similar to this in the future!
For now, I am going to mark this request as INVALID, since we are unlikely to add a UI option specifically to disable the feature.
Note:
While not officially in the UI, it is possible to disable the feature within the about:config page by switching the browser.translations.select.enable preference to false.
That should remove the option from the context menu, leaving you with only your preferred extension.
Here is more information about Firefox's configuration editor.
Please feel free to comment further if you have any other questions!
