HoverTranslator nga HT

/* Addon status: Discontinued */ Thanks to all for testing! :)

HT is a friendly user interface to Google translation server.
Forget about copying and pasting words: save your time!
Even text selection and clicks are not needed anymore.

All what you need for first time - to get to used to it :)

When this addon could be useful for u?
- you probably have elementary knowledge of foreign language, but need to get fast translation of specified words / sentences sometimes;
- you prefer to view web-page in original language without complete translation of page;
- you meet multi-language content in same page ( like comments for popular thread ) and other ...

How it works?
Imagine what every text word on web-page located inside invisible rectangle.
Use your pointer device ( touch or mouse ) to highlight this rectangle slightly and receive translation.

Before start please look at this short VIDEO (2 min) with explanation of basic usage: https://youtu.be/tuYrqYga-po

Comfortable way for working with touchpad is circular motion ( like at video above );
for mouse - horizontal moving ( from right to left or vice versa )

AFTER installation: finish the Master of settings in 3 questions:
- select your native language
- select primary foreign language ( if web-page has no 'lang' attribute, this lang will be used by default )
- pointer sensitivity: for trackpads / touchpads sensitivity could be lower, for mouse pointer - higher. Try it right there

How to change foreign language of the page ( i.e. translate FROM )?
- Click on taskbar icon to display a list of languages;
- scroll up/down to needed language ( left column );
- changing the strip color from GREY to GREEN indicates successful change of language pair ( you also can click to needed language icon, if you can't 'catch' it during scroll)
