Any way to enable on-device translations on Android?

Hello all,

As you may be aware, Firefox introduced on-device translations on the desktop a few months ago and according to this knowledge base page it has been available since version 126, but unfortunately only on some unnamed devices.

Do you know of any way (i.e. preferences in about:config) to forcefully enable the feature?

Thanks in advance

I'm uninformed on this matter but it's on "Studies" for me.

Aren't "Studies" just a fancy term for "limited rollout"? So I assume Mozilla controls them. Therefore I don't think it's a value in about:config. I might be wrong though.
- Oh, I'm afraid you're right. So no dice then :/
browser.translations.enable to true.
- It's already at true and Firefox does not suggest translations
  
  Are you on a foreign page? Don't think it shows if you're on a page your phone recognises as native.
