Proposal for GoogleTrans gadget
breytaHi there,
Sorry about the English.
I have made a GoogleTrans gadget which has been on the enwiki for around a year now. It is also on 11 other wikipedias including the Norwegian.
It functions like the Google toolbar translation feature. When you position the cursor over a word in a webpage and hit the SHIFT key, the Google translation of that word (or of selected text < 500 characters) appears in a popup below the cursor.
The help page for the gadget is at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Endo999/GoogleTrans
(This has instructions on how to port over to other wikis).
and the code for it is at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Endo999/GoogleTrans.js
It really works well for people who have intermediate Icelandic as they can easily look up a word they don't know (every 2 or 3 sentences). This is how I use the tool to read French and Spanish webpages. However, the person who knows no Icelandic (like me) can simply selected a sentence or two and have it translated as well. In each popup there is a link to Google Translation Services. If you click on this link then the whole page is translated.
Good luck with your iswiki.
