Slick Firefox Add-On Does Instant Language Translations of Web Pages
In a two-part series here on OStatic in March, Brian McConnell, who works with language translation sites Worldwide Lexicon and Der Mundo, did a post here, and one here on emerging tools for multilingual web sites and on-the-fly translation of web content from one language to another. As he wrote there: "For many publishers and web app developers, from independent bloggers to high volume sites, designing a site to be multilingual is an afterthought, often thought to be extremely difficult. That's unfortunate because the world is a big place, and there's a lot of interesting content out there waiting to be read, if people can find it and understand it."
Sure enough, tools for instant translation of web content from one language to another are works in progress, but they are getting better. Now, Brian has sent me over a quick-to-install Firefox extension that lets me jump to web pages in other languages, and, with a couple of clicks, get good translations of the entire pages. I have to say this is pretty slick. Here's how you can try it.
