Translate 0.6.0.4 released

Small extension that translates web pages (via toolbar button) or selected text (via context menu) from and to different languages. Uses BabelFish and Google translation engines. Works only with Firefox 0.9+.

I was wondering if there is a way with the translate extension to force the new bablfish tab to come to the front after you select some text and translate it?
Thanks

I've tested in a blank profile and everything works fine.

It doesnt work when trying to view a german ebay page e.g something that someone is selling..
German -> english
it cuts off some of the page and i get this:
Ungültiger Artikel

I don't do the actual translation. Altavista and Google are responsible.

I noticed that since 0.6.0.4 if you check for updates it gives an error saying something about firefox encounterd problems while checking for updates, and translate is listed as the one causing problems.
I noticed that someone else had this problem, read the comments at the update.mozilla.org page.
This problem also occurs with smoothwheel, kind of annoying, any idea what causes it?

I think I've fixed the update checking problem. Try redownloading 0.6.0.4

great extension
works fine with FF 1.0
it would be useful if the translated site could come back on a new tab (like it does when you translate a word or a phrase)
good job thanks...

If you go to update.mozilla.org you can only install the 0.6.0.1 version, so i get an error installing it on firefox 1.0. If you are responsible for updating the extension, could you please fix this? thanks :)

Paul,
I wish you would make this thing translate Norwegian into English because everyone up here in Norway has a computer.....I think, it has the highest proportion of people in the world who speak Norwegian/English and use computers.
Thanks,
Jesse

Jesse,
If you want Norwegian, you'll have to ask Altavista and/or Google to sort something out. When they do, I'll happily add Norwegian to my extension.

I'm not sure why 0.6.0.1 is having trouble with install. Anyway, Translate 0.6.0.4 should be appearing soon @ UMO.

Fantastic, another job well done. Just like magic.
Thank You
