Do y'all know about textise? I don't see mention of it come up in a quick search. https://www.textise.net/
It can be used with the duckduckgo bang !textise

How to use this page

- Type a search term into the box, select a search engine from the drop-down list, and click "Search". You will be taken to a text only version of the search results.

If you mean the official addon Firefox Translations (AFAIK there is no real native translation on FF, but let me know if I'm wrong), I just did a quick test and it seems to work.

Version 118 integrated translations based on this exact addon, I believe. Same project behind it, Bergamot
