I work in the textbook department of a college store and my boss often needs to order foreign books, requiring some work in other languages. To make translations in multiple programs a little simpler, I wrote this little script.

You select some text, hit ctrl-right click and pick the language from the menu. It then pops up the translation in a new browser menu.

I'd like to make it download to a file, and then scree scrape the translation out of it and display it in a tooltip text, but that will need to wait a bit. Unless someone figures it out, of course. Hint hint!

Thanks, savage. Nothing like a real-world example to move newbies like me up the learning curve!

Is this script self-contained? I'm getting this error when I highlight a word and Ctrl-right-click, and am wondering if there's a command or two I should have at the top of the file.

It runs okay as an isolatated script. If you want to merge it into one of your own scripts, you have to merge its auto-execute section with that of your other script's.
