I also found some mistake on main website

for example, in https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/zh/, the "下载山洪和磁力链接" should be "下载种子和磁力链接"

In https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/zh/features.htm, "惠子棟從" should be "會自動從"

If I can found those text in github/crowdin/transifex/translatewiki/weblate/other translate platform, I will go and fix them directly, but now I can't do anything.

Hi,
This is not simple but possible to translate fdm browser extension for FDM. But you have to translate yourself a few strings in your language. Here is the description for Google Chrome :
Start Chrome (tested on version 126.0.6478.127).
Click on the 3 vertical dots at the top right / Extensions / Manage extensions.
Locate the Free Download Manager extension / Note the ID (eg: ahmpjc....). Exit Chrome. Start Explorer.
In the address bar, enter or paste the string below : (*)
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
Enter. Open the "Extensions" folder. Locate the folder with the ID noted previously and open it.
Open the folder with the version number (eg: 3.0.59_0). Open the "_locales" folder, then the "en" folder.
Inside, the messages.json file contains the texts displayed by the extension in browser context menus.
Right click on it, Copy. Go back up the tree to return to the "_locales" folder.
Create a folder with the first 2 letters of your language (eg: fr).
Open it, paste the file, open it with notepad for example.
Translate the text of each sentence in quotation marks after "message": into your language.
Eg: "Free Download Manager integration with browser". Save. Exit your text editor. Close everything.
Start Chrome. Test right-click on a download link. And voilà!
This manipulation also works with Edge (tested on version 126.0.2592.87), opera (tested on version 125.0.6422.143), arc (tested on version 1.8.0 (34917)). Not Firefox at this time, the extension is compressed into an .xpi file. Any modification renders the extension unusable.
It's the same "messages.json" file, only the path changes (refer to the line after (*)).
Paths:
edge %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\
opera %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default\
arc %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\TheBrowserCompany.Arc_ttt1ap7aakyb4\LocalCache\Local\Arc\User Data\Default
