Hey Guys, many of you had asked me about the Firefox extension I used to translate stuff with. I have actually released it to public, you can now use the Firefox extension that I had made. What you will do is you right click and you select any language that translates to or from. For example, let us make it obvious and translate English to Korean. I just selected English to Korean and then let me highlight a bit the text and the alt-click and it is going to bring up the translation box and as you can see it is in Korean now, it actually translated it and it will give you the original input at the bottom.
You can select from tons of languages, I have old languages, Google translates ports because it queries Google translates. It just has like, I don not know, many languages. Let us just say a common one, English to Spanish. Let us say you are learning Spanish, if do not know a word in Spanish you can just alt-click that word without highlighting anything and it will tell you the output. For example improve is mejorar in Spanish and I can do this for as many little parts as I want and it will open new boxes. To close these boxes, all I have to do is click the box and it closes automatically. You can download this extension by going to my site. This will be in the video description. The video description is directly to the right of the video you are watching right now. From there you can just go this page and go to the “download it” section, download my Google translator extension here.
Now, clicking on it will open a little box and it will say “do you want to allow this publisher?” Just go to edit options and allow publisher then you will be able to install it and it will give you a little count down to install and it is my Google_translate.xpi which is the Firefox extension. I tried to add it to the official Mozilla page but for the life of me I cannot make it so that is has a download now or option or something. There is no download button on this page, as soon it gets to download a button, I will link to that instead. In the mean time if you want to try my extension you can just download it directly from my page. If you have any problems what so ever, be sure to tell me in the comments and if I get too many complains about stuff that is not working or stuff working wrong. I will just take it down. I will take down this video and maybe remake it when I fix all the bugs so it is important to leave feedback.
The rest of the page goes through the features and which I have already gone through in the video and future upgrades, right now, when you close Firefox and open it again it will go back to English to French. Maybe in the future I will save the language preferences you have selected and maybe in the future also I have it so that it have to translate phrase or something directly in to the full bar to where you can just type in the phrase you want to be translated and it will translate it. Right now, you can only translate by highlighting and alt clicking. Also it is important not to alts double clicking or something, you can get weird results or alt-click and then do not click the selected texts. Be sure to click exactly on the selected text and it will work properly. Also wherever you click that is where the box will be going to show up, if I alt-click here the box is going to show up here. If I alt-click in the beginning you will going to have a lot more room, so it did not work that time. If I alt-click here it should give me more room, so wherever you click that is where the box is going to show up.
Alright, also I have not make any video tutorials in a while and I am sure you are probably sick of paring me say that phrase but it is kind of important because people say you either bored of Youtube or you are dead and it is either of the two. I have been messing with random program like this one, the Youtube API. Just added a random cool feature that lets you customize your own video player using the JavaScript API. It is just a whole bunch of stuff I have been messing with including my website, I have been updating it. So if I have not made a new video tutorial in a while, I am sorry. I will try to make some more later. I still appreciate all your comments and stuff. Let me know what you think of the extension, if you have any problems just tell me. Anyway thanks for listening to this video.
