It has multiple translation providers to choose from, but only shows the logo and not a name. I have no idea what the logos are except google translate

tried it, sadly it seems to rarely actually pop up, most sites I tried just didnt do anything

For me it's popping up all the time and although I guess I understand why they did it, I absolutely hate it. I don't want translations since I speak the different languages of the sites I visit fluently. Getting popups because I speak different languages is intrusive.

I have custom CSS for my FF to display an old logo in the title bar

I'm sure there's some use cases out there, but that kind of sounds dumb at first. You can use a built-in page translator that translates web pages... without the internet. How are you getting to these pages in the first place then? I'm assuming the appeal is more from the privacy aspect, because it's not communicating with anyone else to get those translations?
