I have a suggestion for this extension, and don't see anywhere else to tell you. It would be nice if you could add another option to include "translate this page" to the right-click context menu, instead of only being able to translate selected text. It would also be great if you could (optionally) specify a default "from" language in the options that would always be used. This would be useful if you only tend to browse sites written in 1 foreign language.
Other than that I think this extension is great :)

You can also use InterTran translation engine which offers much more languages:

By downloading any of those examples you will figure out in seconds how to implement it.

i had earlier asked in you 0.6.0.2 relase comments about, auto-detect and new tab.

since then i found out that one can add "translate" button to toolbar. if i click on the button it seems to be doing auto-detect, is that correct? or it takes the first language and tries that?
what service does that feature use? what all languages it can auto detect?

i still miss capability to open result in new tab.

hey, sorry if i am asking too many things. you see i love this extension and want to make it the best out there.

keep up the good work.

Can I base an extension for currency conversion on your translate extension. It's very similar but instead of translating text I need to translate currency.
