Hi,

It seems that we could quite easily use your extension to launch a customised URL based on the current one with the little arrow-menu.

I guess I could customise my version, but I would have to do it again for every new version.

Could you maybe read an optional user file containing settings like
"Web Archive" = "http://web.archive.org/web/*/%s"
where '%s' wouldbe the current URL, and add the entries in the menu ? The syntax is obviously just an example.

This would be great, and it's something (almost the only one) I really miss in Firefox.

Thanks,

Marc

Hi Marc,

I'm not sure that I fully understand your request. In my extension I use 2 translation engines, Google's and Altavista's. If I understand correctly, you'd like to be able to customise the translation engines and specify your own?

That's it.

It can also be used for other 'redirection' that search, like viewing the old pages on WayBack, check the page with an on-line HTML validator, etc.

I had that feature in CrazyBrowser, an IE-based browser, and I used this a lot.

That should be pretty easy to do, but the only thing is that it's no longer a translation tool. From my point of view, it would be a different extension.

I reckon I could knock something up reasonably quickly.

I agree, it would be more general

From a performance point of view (and also for the UI), wouldn't it be better to have only one extension - although the name could be generalised ;-)

From a performance point of view (and also UI), wouldn't it be a waste of resource to have two extensions ?

The extension name could be extended ;-)

On my install of Mozilla FireFox 0.9.3, on Windows XP, Translate 0.5.5 does nothing. The "Translate >" item shows up in the context menu, but the submenu does not appear. As well, "Translate >" shows up in the "Tools" menu, which produces a submenu with a seperator bar and "Options >", but the Options submenu is empty. What's wrong with this?

No idea. What other extensions have you got installed?

Also, try installing into a clean profile. See if that works.

I am truely interested in your Translate 0.5.5 program, but as of 08/12/2004, I have been unable to activate the download. I have tried several diferent ways and to my despair..... nothing....
Can you assist with a link that will direct me to a working download?
Thank you sincerely,

I love translate. You guys did a great job! Keep up the good work. Do you have a paypal account for donatations. This is a project that definatly needs to stay alive...

Thanks James.

I've added an entry to my blog regarding dontations.

There's no obligation to make any donation. I'm happy to do this for free.

Guys, the more general tool you are looking for exists as a extension known as Conquery.

I used it to search webarchive/waybackmachine.

I used it to search webarchive/waybackmachine. You can customise it to use anything from the webpage url, the webhost, the link you are clicking, the text you highlight etc.

Hi,

something strange happened to this (very useful) extension.

After I first installed it, everything was fine. The context menu said 'Translate "example"'. But now, I don't know why, it says 'Traduire "example"' which, I think, is french.

What happened? I don't want it to be in french.

I reinstalled it already but it didn't help.

Paul, could you please tell me how to change it back to english?
Thanks.
