How do you browse foreign websites automatically translated to english (constantly)?
Here’s the thing.
Google translator let’s you put in any url and translates a page for you… now when you click any link within that website, it doesn’t translate anymore. It’s one-time-only.
I want to browse a Russian site in English, are there any translate plug-ins for safari, firefox, opera or programs that do it for you?

You could install Ubiquity, which is a Firefox “experimental” plugin.
Once you have it installed, you simply Alt+A (Select All) the page, run the hotkey, and the text is computer-translated and actually put back into place where the russian (or whatever language) text was before. Granted, it’s not much better than Google Translate, but it’s a start, and you can simply browse the page and go around; no jumping back and forth between Google and your site.
Yeah, Ubiquity is what you want.

Drag the link for English to your bookmarks toolbar. Click the button when you are on the page and you are done. I made a little video of how to do it. Video
edit :: That video is NSFW.. I forgot that I was recording audio too. I will switch it out in a bit.
yeah the problem with google translator is that it doesn’t work on sites that have logins and accounts
i can go to a russian website homepage in google translator… enter my username and password. but then the next pages (my account) shows up in russian again.
re-pasting that “logged-in” page into google translators results in errors.
So yeah i really need the computer to translate on what my browser already loaded. i’m gonna try ubiquity… (but i’m not a big fan of firefox.)
Well, that doesn’t work as practical. It still involves selecting text (not to mention buttons) and translating it.
There should be a plugin or something to translate-what-you-see right?
