Add Google translate to your right-click menu

gTranslate does exactly what the title implies. Rather than manually copying and pasting content into the Google Translator, why not add the functionality to your right-click menu options?

  • Translates from:
    English to German / German to English
    English to Spanish / Spanish to English
    English to French / French to English
    English to Italian / Italian to English
    English to Portuguese / Portuguese to English
    English to Japanese / Japanese to English
    English to Korean / Korean to English
    English to Chinese (Simplified) / Chinese (Simplified) to English
    German to French / French to German
  • Auto-detection of browser locale and page language (if lang attribute is defined for the selected tag or for the whole page).
    For example: By defalut gTranslate has “German to English” as language pair. If you your locale is set to French then “German to French” is going to be used, but if the page (or the selected text) is detected to be in English, it will be translated from “English to French”.
  • Support for translating text from input and textarea form fields. Image title or alt attributes can be translated also.

Quite the handy tool if you find yourself translating specific page content on a regular basis.
