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.
1) Please add the feature - resize the widget window (if it's possible). Textareas is too small. 2) Please add the link to widget homepage, as it was in early versions.
But I would like a way to resize it, the only way that I thought was using the zoom, but that does not solve my problem because the fonts size are also increased.
I would like to suggest that when you use the Dectect Language feature the widget would not only translate but identify what language it is, if that is possible. I know the widget works from Google translation service so if it doesn't do that you can't make the widget do it, but I thought I'd throw it out there FWIW. Thanks.
I just wanted to point out a way that users can increase and decrease the size of any widget. If your mouse allows you to change settings to give your scroll wheel/center button zoom functionality, you can use the zoom to resize the widget to your preference.
I just published Google Translator v2.3 and it should be available as soon as it is approved. To see what's new, check out the changlog (linked to above).
I just published Google Translator v2.2 and it should be available as soon as it is approved. To see what's new, check out the changlog (linked to above).
There are many improvements with this build, but there are more improvements to come shortly! Enjoy the new interface! It's much more interactive and looks much better now. You will notice in the "More" menu there are two features that will be coming soon, so that's a bit of a preview as to where and how the progress is going.
Plenty of back-end work done to prepare for resizing the widget for a larger work space as well!
Also, there is now an update notification so you will know when you can get more features! Enjoy!

Request #1:
That feature is on it's way. Please read the posted comment immediately below yours.
Request #2:
I'll see what I can come up with, I'm working towards making it as uncluttered as possible, but maybe I can work it in there some way.

My 2 offers:
1) Please add the feature - resize the widget window (if it's possible). Textareas is too small.
2) Please add the link to widget homepage, as it was in early versions.
Thanks.

I think it should be possible to set the languages based on auto-detect. I'll see what I can do.
To those requesting a way to resize the widget for a larger writing space, please be patient. It's a little more work than it may appear to be.

BTW, a shortcut key to "Translate" will be fine.
