Itā€™s available as an add-on for Firefox on PC. Language translation is built into the application for Chrome and Edge on iPhone.

Yes, thatā€™s what Iā€™m trying to say. The browsers have different methods for providing same functionality. But due to restrictions on one platform, Firefox canā€™t provide the functionality that the users want.

Also no-addons policy means no adblock either. Which is quite an L.

With all due respect, I donā€™t think you understand. There is no restriction on language translation on iPhone. Firefox merely doesnā€™t support built-in language translation. It might have been easier for them if Apple permitted add-ons on iPhone, but it definitely does not prevent language translation. Chrome and Edge have built language translation into their apps for iPhone to facilitate this. Firefox could do the same, but have chosen not to.
