WEB PAGE TRANSLATION BOOKMARKLETS

I created a folder on my Google Chrome Bookmarks Bar called "Tools" Here is a screenshot. In that folder I created other folders like "Yahoo Search" and "Google Search" etc. Then I dragged and dropped the appropriate bookmarklets into them. If you want a divider line between various groups of your bookmarklets you can drag and drop the one I made for you below. For instance you might want a line between your encyclopedia and dictionary bookmarklets to make it easier to see where one stops and the other one starts. You can easily rename "Divider Line" to something cool if you want too.

Warning: These bookmarklets will not function unless your browser's JavaScript is enabled. When you install a browser the JavaScript is auto-enabled by default. If these bookmarklets don't function you will have to enable the JavaScript. Sometimes people use Javascripts in their Web pages that cause problems in your browser like this one. There is no way to enable or disable JavaScript in Google Chrome.

Whatever you do do not disable JavaScript in any browser. You will miss out on too many good things other people have to offer on their sites. This is one of those things we all have to live with. I have had mine enabled for 13 years and have had no problems whatsoever.

Translation Bookmarklets Info

Mechanical translators never do as good of a job as human translators. But they are better than nothing. Please don't complain about them. It makes no sense to complain about something that is costing you nothing. I have seen a lot of great sites go away in the last 13 years because people complained too much.

Don't just take one group of translation bookmarklets. Take ALL of them. Sometimes one translator won't work on a certain page but the other one will or several will or none will. The more you have with you the better chance your chances are of acheiving success.

If you don't want to install these bookmarlets you can simply keep this page open in a browser tab while surfing in another tab. When you come to a page you want to translate copy the appropriate bookmarklet into the address bar to translate that page.

Drag and drop the divider line below to separate bookmarklet groups.

GOOGLE TRANSLATION BOOKMARKLETS
The Google Translator bookmarklets perform two functions. They can translate whole pages or from a few words to whole paragraphs. Click on the bookmarklet for the correct language to translate a whole page. Highlight some text on a page and click on the bookmarklet and that will be translated. You should also visit their website Google's Language Tools.

The other translators on this page can only translate whole pages. Be sure to take them too. They will sometimes work better. The more translators you have the better chance you have of achieving success.
Below you will see a link that says "Auto-detect Language". When you click on that it will try to decide what language was used to write the page you are reading. When it is finished processing the data it will tell you what language to translate it with or it will Say "We aren't able to translate Afrikaan yet". I just used Afrikaan randomly as an example.
I am happy to announce that Google has added 7 more languages to their translator January 31, 2009. I have added them to this page, The languages are Albanian, Eestonian, Galacian, Hungarian, Maltese, Thai, and Turkish.
