Google offers a list of bookmarklets that you can drag to your browser's links bar and that allows you to translate the current page from a language to another language.
"While surfing the web, if you find a piece of text you'd like to translate, select the text with your mouse and click the browser button. If you want to translate a whole web page, simply click the button."

Or you could always use the AutoTr bookmarklet that will go from anything Google supports to English automatically:
ReplyDeletejavascript:window.location='http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=autotr%20'+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
Thanks for the tip. I've written about it here, where I've also put up a bookmarks file that you can import into FireFox to have access to all these shortcuts.
ReplyDeleteawesome, thank you!

Nice; for bonus points, how about making it able to be set in a web page for multilingual - instant - translation? (Is this already possible?)
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if there is a way to translate a webpage automatically according to the location of the visitor viewing the webpage?
ReplyDeleteYou should never translate a page based on the location of a visitor. That's an elementary mistake: what if I'm French and I visit Tokio? Does it mean that I know Japanese? You should also remember that some countries have two or more national languages (e.g.: Canada, Belgium).
