Web Translate Toggle for Thunderbird Version History

3 versions

Be careful with old versions!

These versions are displayed for reference and testing purposes. You should always use the latest version of an add-on.

Version 1.1.1 31.2 KiB Works with Thunderbird 128.0 and later

1.1.1: Fixes plain-text emails: their text was skipped (it sits in a "pre" block), so only bold/quoted/signature parts were translated. Also keeps the spaces and line breaks at the edges of each translated segment, so words no longer run together.
1.1.0: Optional badge on the toolbar button when the message language differs from your target language (never translates automatically). Optional LibreTranslate backend with a server URL you enter yourself. Translation cache is now size-limited.
1.0.4: A malformed translation response no longer aborts the retry.

Version 1.0.3 25.0 KiB Works with Thunderbird 128.0 and later

Fixes translation failing with "Google Translate HTTP 429".

Google stopped serving the endpoint parameter this add-on relied on, which broke
translation for everyone. This release switches to a working endpoint parameter
and makes the add-on far more resilient:
- Failed requests are now retried automatically with a growing delay, instead of
giving up on the first error.
- Messages are sent in fewer, larger requests, so a long email is much less
likely to hit a rate limit. Non-Latin scripts (Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic,
Arabic) are handled correctly when sizing those requests.
- If the service does rate-limit you, you now get a clear explanation in your own
language instead of a raw "HTTP 429" error.

No new permissions.

Version 1.0.2 23.5 KiB Works with Thunderbird 128.0 and later

The add-on name is now the same in every language ("Web Translate Toggle for
Thunderbird") to fully comply with Mozilla's trademark naming guidelines; the
interface and description remain translated. No functional changes.
