Use Google to translate text directly in the widget or translate a webpage.
Google Translator uses a theme based off of Gmail's theme! You can use this widget to convert excerpts of text and entire web pages to and from multiple languages.
Please take note of the following: * This widget will translate only the languages that can be translated by Google's own translation service. Language options will be updated as Google adds more language translation options to their service.
The version numbering system changed when Opera Widgets was last upgraded. I'll be updating the widget more and improving on the feedback here. This current version 2.0 and 1.42 are the same. It's the difference between my previous versioning system and how Opera Widgets now forces major and minor versions only now.
I'll look into your suggestion about dictionary mode. I can't give a promise or date yet, I'll just have to see how it fits in to the widget. Thanks.
I've had a couple suggestions in the past to make it resizeable and that is on the to-do list, but it may take me some time to get it sorted out just right. Rest assured that I am looking into it and working on a proper update for this.
This is a very good suggestion and would be very convenient, but I'm not sure that it is possible with Opera widgets at this time. I'll look further into this and see what I can make happen. Thanks.
The Google Translator widget is making use of Google's own translator and will only offer the ability to translate between the languages that Google offers from their own translation service. No more and no less. I'm sorry that your language isn't supported by Google at this time, but you could try requesting that they support it and as soon as they do it will be added here. Thanks.
Very nice widget, one last step and it will be perfect :
prefilling url field at each time we change the active document tab ; this will avoid to do the annoying Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V to Copy / Paste the URL from the URL adress bar
Great widget. The only issue I have with it is that the widget is not resizable. It would be great to be able to view more text without having to scroll.
Why on this page under screenshot we have "V2.0", but widget it self write "version:1.42"? And why it not remember open/close status of options, if it part of main window? (I think it is not an options... Its a controls...)
I just uploaded a beta version with some requested features. Read the text at the top to see all of the changes. It is not complete, but should be cleaned up soon. Lets here to suggestions and comments!
great widget.. i use it a lot. but i see that its didn't updated since april 19 2007 ??? why? the idea is so great.. And I have some suggestions (if you will make next version sometime):
1) a more big translation box, cause when you translate big text its inconvenient to scroll the text all the time. wiil be great that the user should resize it..
2) 'clear' button to clear the text
3) more languages (i've checked the google translate page, and found there translate languages that isn't here..)
4) it will remember what language i used latest, then when i'm opening it' the language will be ready in the listbox...
5) the feature with one button click to change the translated language. for example i'm translating english to russian, and i want to translate now immediatly from russian to english, i will click the button and it will convert the translation between them, instead of opening the listbox everytime.
Only one dissatisfaction : It can't be resized, so with a big translated text, reading is frustrating. Hopefully, I success to modify your widget to my needs (50%+ width & 70%+ height)
Hi, it would be great when you would make that it remembers which languages you last wanted to translate and also a button that switches vice versa. Like if you want to translate : english-> french, with this button you make french->english, because it's frustrating to always use the list. It would help those who are beginners!
9.5 users I have an updated version specifically for Opera 9.5 users due to some width dimensions changing on some of the input fields between Opera 9.2x and Opera 9.5. You can get this latest widget here.. http://www.kyleabaker.com/downloads/widgets/GoogleTranslator_141.zip
Thanks, those are some really good suggestions! However, #2 is not exactly clear to me. Could you please explain this in a bit more detail please. I'm not sure that what you are talking about is possible with a widget, but I may be completely lost on this one.
Thanks to everyone else who has been supportive! I've been very busy with school lately and have not had a chance to update it much, however, the semester is over and I should have plenty of time. First things first. You can count on seeing a lot more languages in the list to translate between. The widget in it's current form is only as capable as googles own translation page. However, I can rework the backend to translate between languages that google does not offer by having it translate to one language and then to the final language. My only problem with this at the moment is the fact that these translations will loose a great deal after being translated twice. I will do my best to make this work as well as possible.

Only it would be a good idea to make it more, otherwise inconvenient to use.
