[EXT] S3.Translator
---------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Old name: "S3.Google Translator"
New name - now this "S3.Translator"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
S3.Translator adds the power of Google Translate’s automatic translations to your browser!
It supports translation of selected text, entered phrase or whole webpage between any of 100+ languages.
New Feature: Language learning!
Now you can not only translate, but also learn the selected language!
Original version for Firefox: This is a signed extension that will be automatically updated.
https://www.s3blog.org/s3gt.html
1. Download it: https://s3blog.org/download/s3gt/s3translator_firefox.xpi
2. Install s3translator_firefox.xpi
S3.Translator - this extension for Firefox browser make much easy visit of websites on foreign language.
The extension uses the Google translation public API http://translate.google.com/ and therefore it have more than 80 languages which you can use for translation.
Also, the extension able to auto-detect the language of the original text.
There are a lot of simple and complex extensions for Firefox browser but they all have same problem: when translating, the format of selected text is lost, while S3.Translator retains the HTML formatting of web pages.
I hope that this extension will be very useful for you.

Re: [EXT] S3.Google Translator
You've created a very nice add-on here, for which, thank you If I may, I have a request. How feasible would it be to incorporate a feature from a userscript - Google Translator Tootip Expanded - that displays additional translations for words/phrases? See the image fr a better idea.

Thanks for the reply. It's selected text I'm thinking of. Personally, I have no need of full page translation.

Re: [EXT] S3.Google Translator, on the fly
thanks for S3GT. Would be nice to have option to use "on the fly translation" with a modifier: if I select text with Ctrl or Alt or shift the S3GT window will appear, but if I select text without the dedicated modifier (normally to copy the text or to transmit it to the search box), then the S3GT will not react.
Thanks!

Re: [EXT] S3.Google Translator
First off, thank you for this add-on! Wonderful and useful for me, as I use it to help me understand Kanji I don't understand when reading Japanese.
I was wondering about a couple possible features for it, which may be considered useless by some, but still...
-Adding the "Read Phonetically" text, for people that want to see the pronunciation of the words in question
-Having the multiple translations appear, as the translator currently only shows the first translation, which is not always the one you need. (Using GTranslate does require basic understanding of some languages to be useful, such as with Japanese, and often having all the translations is supplies is needed to really know what you are reading; otherwise, the translation can easily be wrong due to how the translator system works)

Re: [EXT] S3.Google Translator
For example:
If I want to translate "apple" into Japanese, your add-on will only translate it as "アップル" (a transliteration of "apple", but not the Japanese word at all) rather than the correct "林檎", which appears as the second translation on Google Translate.
It would be nice if the translator would list each of the translations Google Translate provides. The area used by the translator easily has enough space to do so. It would be fine if it were an optional setting as well.

Re: [EXT] S3.Google Translator
plugin.state.flash = 0 --> never activate
plugin.state.flash = 1 --> ask to activate
plugin.state.flash = 2 --> always activate
for translate a full page must be installed and enabled Flash player -- this required for the Google widget

Re: [EXT] S3.Google Translator
there seems to be a conflict with this ext. and Menu Wizard - when both are enabled, the Esc key fails to function

Re: [EXT] S3.Google Translator
yes, this ESC is set to close the translation panel
Code: Select all
<key id="s3gt-key-text-translate-button-close" keycode="VK_ESCAPE" oncommand="s3gt.action.translate_selection_hide_toolbar();"/>
