O-Translate
A translation widget based off the babelfish service. No longer works or maintained.
Description
Note to users:
I have no intention of keeping this widget up to date (obviously, the last update was in 2006)! It also
doesn't work
. Try using one of the other translation widgets.
A translator widget based on the altavista babelfish translation service. Makes it easy to add new translation engines and special characters. Features:
- Keyboard shortcut for translate button.
- Easy switch between translation direction.
- Easy change of langauges.
- Detects whether a URL has been entered and submits the webpage to be translated if appropriate.
- Special character popup for some languages.
- 'Minimised' and 'maximised' mode.
Credit to shoust for doing it first, but there were a couple of extra accessibility features I wanted, so I made my own.

I like this a lot - I'd just second the motion for a 'close' button.
there is a mistake in the link in the config or about button, the babel translation link has http://balelfish.altavista.com/ and it should be http://babelfish.altavista.com/
This Widget seems like it will be quite usefull once some kinks get worked out. I can't seem to get the English to Japanese to work, or for that matter vice versa. If someone could please get this fixed I would be greatly appreciated. I currently live in JAPAN, and hahaha this would make it so much easier when chatting with the local friends I make online. =P
: Thanks, it'll be fixed in the next version . : What do you mean about the translations not working? The widget doesn't function, or the translation isn't very good? If it's the first, then try some other language and see if it works (it might be some problem with your connection; works on mine). If the second, well, the translations are done by altavista's babelfish, so that can't be changed unless you find a better online translation engine.
I can't launch his widget anymore, I download again and it works, but when I close opera and reopen again it doesn't work. This problem lasting for last two weeks or more.
I think beacuse the babelfish translation company is not working for some days or weeks, i don't know. That's what I think. But the widget is working.
the reverso.net engine is very powerful and coherent. could you add it please? thanks =)
More than 40 widgets working on my machine but O-Translator doesn't ?
It doesn't work for me, either. The translate "button" isn't even there, and hitting Ctrl + Enter as instructed also doesn't work. Cute widget, but needs work.
When I close opera and open the browser again the widget "o-translate" doesn't work. @ splondike: Can you please fix the bug?
Sorry about not replying to your bugs in so long, just been doing other things I guess. I'm getting close to finishing the next version; it should be out in under a couple of weeks with the bugs fixed hopefully. Until then, hold tight .
find your widget folder (WinXP -> C ocuments and SettingsSernameApplication DataOperaOpera 9profilewidgets) -> find o-translate-1_0.zip -> extract it -> you will see a O-Translate folder -> open the folder -> select all files inside the folder, right click and zip it all with the name o-translate-1_0.zip and put it on your widget profile. edit: you should edit your widgets.dat too, open it on notepad or something, find C ocuments and SettingsSernameApplication DataOperaOpera 9profilewidgetso-translate-1_0.zipO-Translate or something similar and delete O-Translate and it should look like this : C ocuments and SettingsSernameApplication DataOperaOpera 9profilewidgetso-translate-1_0.zip It should work, do not zip the folder but all the contents of the folder.
: Thank you for the hint! Hope splondike will fix the bug betimes - it would be a little big easier
plz add "Russian to english", thanks
: This widget already has russian to english. When you select "English and Russian", you can now translate either way. Type something in english on the left side to translate to russian. Type something in russian on the right side to translate to english. Works like a dream! A+
thank you soo much i really needed it u c im moving to paris to go to collage ( and my boyfriend is french ) sooo it really helps... is there any way i can get this on my phone????
Have been searching for something that will translate Tagalog (Philippines) to English. The major translator sites dont list it...
There is free program called Tagalog Translator which works well for indivudual words and some phrases. http://www.topshareware.com/Tagalog-Translator-download-40177.htm OR http://www.download.com/Tagalog-Translator/3000-2279_4-10457195.html Nice widget. I use it for IM'ing with my girlfriend in China.
Hmmm is about all I can say about this one. I keep getting an error window when I try to launch the installer. But that's ok the multi translator I know works well which is the other widgett ... BTW multitranslator yes even has russian to english visa versa ... should try that one and don't panic over this one LOL.
perhaps some improvements, because there are other better widgets of this kind...
