Updated review:
Thank you for your response. As a Mint Linux user we are recommended to only use approved versions available in the repository. As the newer version of Thunderbird has not yet been added, I am stuck with 1.15 for now. I have downloaded the older version and this has resolved the issue. Hopefully, in the future, we will see translation within the email itself. Thank you again for your assistance. I will be turning off automatic updates for this add-on.

Earlier review: "Stopped working suddenly. Restarts and re-installs do nothing. It simply no longer appears in the right-click menu. Please fix as this is literally the only option for translation *within* Thunderbird. I will go back to copy and paste to external browser until this gets updated."

Developer's response: "Hello,
The issue has been identified, more info here:
https://github.com/fastaddons/WebTranslate/issues/18

Basically, you are most likely using unsupported version of Thunderbird 115 (or a clone based on this version).
Upgrading to latest version 128 will fix the issue.
Alternatively, you can install the previous version of my addon (5.5) which still works on Thunderbird 115:

But I would strongly recommend upgrading your Thunderbird client as the older version are not receiving security patches.
