For those of us receiving email in multiple languages, it would be awesome to have #Firefox Translate built in to Thunderbird. No sending your sensitive conversations to a corporate cloud, just a lean translation service running locally.

We've decided to make it a development priority for Q1 2024!

You'll be able to track the progress via this bug: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…

But as always, we'll also keep you posted right here.

In the meantime, the Web Translate add-on is OK:

@uhuru Speaking as a community manager who frequently receives questions about Thunderbird via email in Dutch, German, Spanish, and French, it seems like a useful feature to me 😉

Thats an edge-case feature. So make it an Add-On!
Much more usefull would be AutoCrypt by default and Key-Checks/-Sharing via known shared contacts.
