Quotesiria Now am not sure if you noticed any difference in "selected text" tests for v1+v2? In v1--Russian to English--Google doesn't think Russian is Spanish. But yes, Google has had problems with language identification for a long time. I'm not sure what they give their AI to drink Quote But considering the language explosion from some 25 to 100 languages for Googl

OK. I tried the v2 hack, no luck at all. Translating the page, Google showed the possibility of an English translation, but it was still in Russian. So I went back to select and translate, see the image: Spanish? FWIW, my test site for Russian is < http://kmeleon-ru.blogspot.com/ >, and Alain's Jujuland site for French. So I reverted to the v1 macro. I'm probably n

Well, it works OK on KMG77. But see below... I removed (crude hacking!) the BabelFish section from "translate.kmm", and that still works :O but the default (?) English is now greyed out on the From menu. Yandex does seem to check what language the original is in: I tried a KM forum page which is largely in French, but Yandex wanted to give me the French "translation". Of

Thanks for that siria. It's the whole-page/selected text bit I'm looking for. I found a support page on Yandex, they have an API for "commercial" translation, I asked them if they could assist in getting a macro/js up to link into their web translator. We'll see how it goes.

That's because most users are lazy. Compare browsers to motor vehicles: IE is a truck. It is quite configurable, but you need to know what you are doing. It can be hardened up like you wouldn't believe, but (as with JS) you lose a lot of bling. And it was the only browser ever that allowed parents to securely lock offensive websites away from their children. Netscape is, fortu
