A little something to help with machine translations
By: Rex Date: February 14, 2015, 2:04 am
---------------------------------------------------------
[font=verdana]Here is a little add-on for Firefox to help with
translating sentence...[/font]
It is something like a hobby project I work on when I have time.
Its my first time writing an add-on so its extremely simple. And
it is no way a finished version.
It works by translating the given sentence from source language
to destination language using Google, Bing and Free Translator
services.
The difference is that you don't need to open multiple tabs,
Since the outputs are displayed on the same window.
And you can easily compare the outputs because of that.
There are some little bugs (well not exactly a bug), like when
you tries to translate from Korean -> Japanese, the Free
Translate output shows an error since its not a valid language
pair for Free Translator service etc...
Any way just give it a try and let me know how it is.
And give me any suggestions or improvements you have.
And if you know a better way to do it let me know since I'm
doing this to learn.

This looks great. So, how do we install this plugin?

1: Download the zip file.
2: Unzip it.
You will get a file named
[glow=red,2,300]`mth@animelinks.tk.xpi`[/glow]. This is the
plugin file.
3: Sometimes just double clicking the file will open Firefox
and Ask you whether you want to install the add-on.
If that dosn't work:
3: Open Firefox, then [glow=red,2,300]drag[/glow] the
[glow=red,2,300]`mth@animelinks.tk.xpi`[/glow] file into Firefox
window. Now Firefox will ask you whether you want to install the
add-on.
Another method:
3: [glow=red,2,300]Right click[/glow] on
[glow=red,2,300]`mth@animelinks.tk.xpi`[/glow] file >>
[glow=red,2,300]Open With[/glow] >> Select Firefox from the
dialog box.
If Firefox is not in the dialog box Click
[glow=red,2,300]BROWSE[/glow] button and select `firefox.exe`
default location is C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe
4: After installing the add-on, there will be a new icon on your
Firefox toolbar named [glow=red,2,300]"Start Machine Translation
Helper"[/glow] just click it.
5: You can change the options of add-on from
[glow=red,2,300]Firefox's Add-ons page[/glow]. If you don't know
how to open add-ons page. Just type in
[glow=red,2,300]about:addons[/glow] on address bar of Firefox.
Well if you don't know at least this much you are new to
Firefox.

That's odd. I can download an unzip the file just fine.
By the way I'm using WinRAR.
But 7zip should work better.
Try downloading the file a new and try again.
