Translation from Japanese?

[Suncatcher]

It's kinda weird that Japanese maintainers browser lacks Japanese translation. Am I the only man uncomfortable with the fact that I even can't go to the Floorp website to read more about developers and the whole concept?

yes, I am aware that Japanese is still not available among the translation languages in core Mozilla FF, but this is definitely the point where Floorp can be better than Firefox

[breadbeforerice]

Translations from Japanese already exist in Firefox.

[Suncatcher]

natively? they do not exist only in ESR codebase?

[breadbeforerice]

Since it's from 135, it's not in ESR.

I am not familiar FF release, could you please explain when will ESR/Floorp will receive this 135 update?

[breadbeforerice]

Floorp will discontinue the ESR base, so it will be usable in Floorp 12. The Floorp 12 beta currently being tested is based on Firefox 136.

thanks, but I prefer to live without extensions, both for privacy and performance reasons. Floorp is not positioned as a modular-built browser, so I expect all its features to be in the core, not as addons

OK, installed Beta [email protected] (64-bit) by advice of @breadbeforerice and the translation behaves weird, NOT how I expect it.
Two problems:

1. The translation setting is not persistent. When I enable translation and it turns blue
   
   after going to the next link it resets to the disabled state. Maybe this is how it behaves in FF, but for me it's not straightforward and not very logical
2. I cannot create a list of translatable langs in the settings either. I downloaded the Japanese, but it does not appear in the list and there is not way to add it manually, this settings section seems nonsensical as it cannot be updated
   
3. The performance of the translation is poor, it must be improved. Now I see how the text is re-rendered and the Japanese words are replaced by English, which takes about 1-1.5 sec for the whole page. On all other browsers this rendering happens almost instant, without notable visual effects, i.e. I cannot track when single word turns into translated form. The whole page is translated immediately
