I'm not sure what of the capabilities of the latest IE as I use firefox.

However you can still use translator sites such as translate.google.com. Unfortunately you will have to look for and find these sites yourself.

FoxLingo just accesses all these external translator sites and integrates them into the Firefox browser. Keeps the list of translators up to date too.

Bump, and this guy (or guys, not sure), are starting to post aircraft shots. The last couple DD's are also pretty crisp photos.

Anyone who hasn't checked out this blog, you're missing something.

Nice photo of a Judy at Rabaul, 1943. Didn't realize how big they were:

Thanks a lot for this interesting tool, but in this example I may miss something but I can't translate other pages but page one.
ie. If I'm watching page 163 and if I use the Web Page translation function, it opens and translates page 1!
Is it the same for you?

Sorry about taking so long to reply but Telstra accidentally disconnected my broadband connection whilst doing maintenance and would only reconnect me 'when they could fit the job in' which ended up being a week and a half later!!! Welcome to privatisation...

Now back to your problem... How on-line translators work is they download a page from its URL* (web address) and create a temporary translated version of the page which is sent to your browser from the translator site.

Note the URL of a translated page below:

http://alice-group.amikai.com/amiweb/browser.jsp?url=http://blog.livedoor.jp/irootoko_jr/archives/cat_17014.html&langpair=JA-EN&display=3&f_color=00

The red colour text is the URL of the translator site, the blue text is the page to be translated and the green text are options directed at the translator.

Your problem is that when you attempt to use one of the navigation widgets on the translated page, the browser attempts to get the next page from the translator (red text) site rather than the source (blue text) site. As the requested page doesn't exist on the translator site it defaults to a previously translated page from the source site (which is usually the home page if you viewed it first).

The fix: After viewing a translated page, simply use the browser 'Go Back' one page button to reload the untranslated version of the page from the source site (with the URL starting with blue text above), then use the navigation buttons to go to the next page you want to view and translate that page as normal. Repeat above procedure for next page.

I hope this has answered your question and hasn't confused you too much.

Cheers,
Reg.

Warning: Techno-babble follows...

* This URL must be unique for each page so sites with frames won't work properly. Note sites like http://www.adf-serials.com where the URL in the address box at the top of your browser doesn't change as you navigate around the site. This makes it impossible for the translator to download a specific page and also impossible for you to provide a link to a specific piece of information. Any attempt to access the site via the URL will end up on the home page. This is why frames aren't part of the W3C specification though sites often use this technique to prevent 'link stealing' and other dodgy practices.

Edited as trying to keep it simple....
