Can one use that translation tool from command line?
I’m willing to bet you could work something out to make it work
Otherwise there’s always selenium which I imagine would include functionality to do the page translations.
+1 for interest!

How will this offline translator affect Firefox's memory usage? The article mentioned that it currently only supports 9 languages. If I choose a source language will it be able to translate to all other 8 languages? Why didn't they use existing open-source software like Apertium (or did they?)?
tried it, sadly it seems to rarely actually pop up, most sites I tried just didnt do anything
For me it's popping up all the time and although I guess I understand why they did it, I absolutely hate it. I don't want translations since I speak the different languages of the sites I visit fluently. Getting popups because I speak different languages is intrusive.

I've installed the add-on manually a few weeks ago and it works surprisingly well. It's now my go-to translation tool for websites.
I'm sure there's some use cases out there, but that kind of sounds dumb at first. You can use a built-in page translator that translates web pages... without the internet. How are you getting to these pages in the first place then? I'm assuming the appeal is more from the privacy aspect, because it's not communicating with anyone else to get those translations?
