Nah, I can’t get the Firefox translating to work. And websites not having a built-in account deletion option is the reason many sites offer (usually buried in their policy) the option to have it manually deleted, only if you directly contact them via email. I’ve done this with a few websites before and it’s a pretty easy process.
Comment on Where should I ask for help deleting an account for a Japanese website?

Don’t the built in translation features for Chrome or Firefox work? If not, I agree with the others to just leave it. A lot of websites don’t even have the functionality to delete accounts to begin with.

I think having a way to delete accounts is legally required by some jurisdictions. And sometimes if a site does business in such a jurisdiction and are required to have a way to do that, they’ll still offer that option those outside the jurisdictions in question. (It’s easier to just allow everyone who asks than to have rules keeping track of who can and can’t legally demand it.)
But if this is an image board hosted in Japan intrended for a Japanese audience, and if Japan has no such legal requirements (or if such requirements don’t apply here for some reason), then it’s highly plausible they just don’t have any way to delete accounts.

last I checked, FF doesn't have support for full-page translation of Japanese. It's basically the only reason I still use Chrome sometimes.

I think they support it now in Firefox, but didn’t used to; they just don’t currently support it with Japanese as far as I know. I’m sure I was looking at a Chinese or French website some months ago and it worked with Firefox’s built-in page translator.
