The new version of Firefox for Android has a built in translation tool.

And, even better, it protects your privacy by doing the translation on your device, rather than sending data to the cloud.

Switch today!

@Edent for full pages it was released two releases ago. For text selection, it's now in the RMB/context menu.

Hmm, I have about:translations in my Fennec, but (probably because I have non-English locale?) absolutely nothing when I go to lemonde.fr.

@Edent Some good news from Mozilla in these trying times?

That's welcome [and unexpected, considering their behavior the past few years].
