“Excellent Firefox extension for online translation”

As you might have noticed, the web is a very big place. However, due to the fact that many pages aren't written in our native language it's difficult to appreciate the sheer amount of useful and interesting information on there. FoxLingo is a Firefox add-on that ensures that your ignorance of a language is never a barrier to understanding a web page.

Through the use of a neat customisable toolbar, FoxLingo puts you in a position to instantly translate web pages with the click of a mouse. The application supports a massive range of languages, and you can pick those that are most useful to you, adding a flag for each in the toolbar. Like many online translation tools, the results are far from perfect, but you'll be able to get the general gist of the web page.
