Translators and interpreters research terminology, track project deadlines, follow language industry news, and write extensively in the browser. These Firefox extensions support professional language work.
Terminology research tabs per project
Tab Manager — save tab sets per translation project or client.
A technical translation project might need: source document, terminology database, subject-matter reference, glossary, TM tool, and style guide — all open simultaneously. Tab Manager saves the full research context.
Project and delivery task tracking
Daily Planner — today's translation tasks: "Complete Section 3 of legal brief," "Proofread yesterday's output," "Invoice client for March work."
Translation industry news
News Widget Dashboard — RSS feeds from translation and localization industry sources: ProZ.com news, Common Sense Advisory, Multilingual Magazine, language technology blogs.
Writing, grammar, and proofreading
AI Writing Assistant — grammar checking for target-language output, emails to clients, and project proposals. Runs locally — no proprietary translation content is sent externally.
Translation habit tracking
Habit Tracker — monthly tracking for professional habits: "translated X words," "read one industry article," "practiced one new language pair."
Late-night interpretation prep
NightOwl — interpreters often prepare late in the evening for early-morning sessions. Automatic dark mode reduces eye strain.
All are part of a series I built — see the full series.
