GoogleTrans Help

Hover the cursor over a word and a popup window will appear with a foreign language translation of that word. You have to hold the SHIFT key down as well.

This will work in most browsers (except Konqueror). In IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari v4 and Epiphany you can select up to 500 characters of text, place the cursor within the selected text, and a translation of that text will appear.

You can turn GoogleTrans on and off by clicking on the "googletrans" tab at the top of the article you are in. You will see either:
Turn Off GoogleTrans?: click on this link to turn the feature off.
Turn On GoogleTrans?: click on this link to turn the feature on.

Other items in the GoogleTrans configuration window are:

GoogleTrans Help?: a link to this webpage.
To Language Combo box: Select the language you wish to have the text translated to. Initially, your translate to language will be set to whatever your native language is in your Wikipedia profile (if Google supports this language). Otherwise, or if your native language is the same as the content language of the web page, the translation to language will be set to FRENCH.
A notification if single word translation is on.
A notification if selected text word translation is on. On Safari v3, and Opera it will not be.

The popup window with the translation will have the following items:

Source: Google.. This link will take you to Google translation services and translate the page you are looking at. The source for all lookups is Google translation services at http://translate.google.com.
X link. Click here to close the window. Usually the window closes automatically and you don't have to click here.
the translated word or translated phrase. For single words the pretranslated word will also appear. For selected text only the translated words will appear.

When you move the cursor outside the popup window, popup windows go away. If you move the cursor inside the popup window (or outside the frame of the browser window) the popup window stays.
