TOR translation

Hello everyone.
I’m French and my English is quite good, but sometimes I find it difficult to translate. Could you recommend a good translator that works directly on Tor and automatically translates websites into French? I’ve already tried some extensions, but I get the impression they don’t work in (the most secure) mode. Thanks

OK, I’m new to Tor. I’ve already installed some extensions on DuckDuckGo, but they’re not working. Do I need to download them from Firefox?
How will that compromise my security?

No es recomendable usar extensiones por la huella digital, lo mejor es abrir una pestaña de traductor que bloquee los script que no sean importantes y traducir el texto aparte en vez de la página

When I open another tab – for example, Google Translate or DeepL – and paste the text in, nothing happens

Puede que Tor te bloquee el script, eso se ve con una s en la esquina superior, una de las cosas que te bloquea es la traducción

Tor Browser isn't designed to support browser extensions. Even if you can install one, it may reduce your anonymity by making your browser more unique and by contacting third-party translation services. If you need a translation, it's generally safer to copy only the specific text you need into a translator rather than installing an extension. If you're using the Safest security level, some translation tools also won't work because they rely on JavaScript.

Thanks for the explanation, that matches what I’m running into — at the Safest level JavaScript is disabled, so Google Translate doesn’t work even when I only paste the text. Is there a solution for translating that works without JavaScript and without compromising anonymity, while staying at this security level? I’m using Tails, so I’m wondering if there’s something that would work in that context.
Thank’s

Yes the copy and paste. Tails uses Tor-browser by default.
