I just tried it on https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/technologie and it’s definitely good enough to be usable, although it has translated the top story as “What the new data glasses from Apple can”. Google Translate’s version is almost the same for most of it, although it gets “can do” right.
It initially recognised that it could translate feddit.de but seems to have stopped now. Hmm.
Anyway, even though German->English is a pretty easy test given that English is a Germanic language, I’m happy to leave it installed and test it in the wild.
It can force translate any webpage if you click the translate icon in address bar and manually select both language source and destination. I need to do it for some webpages with Russian in it.
As noted, this is an old article. You can install the plugin here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/
