Mozilla Links PowerTip: Set Your Translation Language
(contributed by Percy Cabello)
As you may know Mozilla 1.6 features back the automatic translation
tool. With this, you can visit any website, select the Tools menu,
click on "Translate Page" and you will have an English version of that
web page, provided by Google (TM) Language Tools.
If you want to customize Mozilla so that it provides a translation in
your own language (limited to those offered by Google), follow this
steps:
- Type about:config in the Lcoation bar
- Search for the parameter "browser.translation.service"
- Edit the URL specified from:
http://translate.google.com/transl [...] e_tools&u=
to, for example, to set Google to automatically translate from english to
spanish:
http://translate.google.com/transl [...] r=en|es&u=
As you may note, the addition is the "langpair" parameter which sets
the source and target languages. Currently valid language pairs (as
available in http://www.google.com/language_tools), are:
en|de : English to German
en|es : English to Spanish
en|fr : English to French
en|it : English to Italian
en|pt : English to Portuguese
de|en : German to English
de|fr : German to French
es|en : Spanish to English
fr|en : French to English
fr|de : French to German
it|en : Italian to English
pt|en : Portuguese to English
