Firefox Extension gTranslate

This is a sweet little firefox extension that translates any text in a webpage just by selecting and right-clicking over it. The extension uses googles translation service to translate the following languages: English to German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (simplified) and vice versa plus German to French and French to German.

The extension is able to auto-detect the locale used by firefox and the language of the page, which means that you do not have to chose the current language and the language you want to view the text in. It´s done automatically. It supports the translation of form fields / input fields and image title / alt attributes.

    Just to let you know, it appears that your rss feed is broken. Every app
    that appears in the feed and is selected receives the following error:

    WordPress database error: [Can't create/write to file '/var/lib/mysql/tmp/#sql_5a52_0.MYI' (Errcode: 2)]
    SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt

    Thanks, I fixed this one, updated the database and it happened that the temp dir was temporarily deleted ;)
