BabelFish-type Instant Translation
BabelFish-type Instant Translation
tijlan <[email protected]> · 2010-02-04 11:28 UTC · Tiki post #9526
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7004 It automates the translation of a selected (including mouse-hovered) word/sentence, via Google and Yahoo services, and instantly shows the result in a small pop-up area. Very practical, helpful, and motivating for language learners.
I wonder if such a gadget could be provided for Lojban learners in the near future. Just popping up a gloss-based translation of a selected gismu/lujvo would be great. There seems to be a growing interest in writing/reading lojbanic texts on e.g. Twitter, where the pop-up translation would surely come in handy for beginner followers.
BabelFish, like any other FireFox add-ons, is licensed under Attribution-Share Alike, so I'm humbly guessing its source code could be used as the groundwork and tweaked so as to make the program refer to jbofi'e, jbovlaste, etc. instead of Google and Yahoo. (My knowledge of programming is limited, I'm not fully aware of what it takes to create a browser add-on, I might be asking too much.)
Similar to BabelFish are Perapera-kun (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3343) and Rikai-chan (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2471).

I wonder if I haven't given it enough publicity; nobody has
complemented me regarding its awesomeness:
