Description

Currently, it is hard to trigger the addon for firefox in Android (Nightly), user must:

  1. click menu button
  2. click addons
  3. click linguist addon
  4. in addon page, click translate web page
  5. press return button to back to web page to show the translated result

If we can add an icon in the webpage, e.g. top right corner, and translate current web page by click the icon, restore to original web page by click again

It would be better since no context switch.

For sure, the icon can be enable / disabled in settings.

How do you think?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how the existing extension injects content scripts and handles translation. Look at the popup UI to understand the current flow. Then, design a floating icon that toggles translation on click, similar to the popup functionality but embedded in the page. Ensure the icon can be toggled via settings.
