Did you know it's now possible to select text on the page loaded in #Firefox, press shift+F10 to inwoke a popup menu and translate selected text into a different language?
I like it as I can easily copy text translated locally instead of using online services for the actual translation work.

@miki We had native selection in Firefox FIRST. Looking at the release notes we've had that in NVDA for Firefox since NVDA 2024.1, and for Chrome since NVDA 2025.1: download.nvaccess.org/releases…
If you try it out, do please let us know how you find it :)

Unknown parent • •@garo Please can you help me to download the appropriate build?
I've navigated to this url microsoft.com/en-us/software-d…
Selected Windows 11 (multi-edition ISO for x64 devices)
Pressed the Download now button.
The iso image I've downloaded does not start narrator when pressing ctrl+windows+enter after fully booting.
The file name of the image is Win11_25H2_EnglishInternational_x64.iso
The direct url to the image I managed to download this way is software.download.prss.microso…
Thanks for the help
