Babel Mousish is a simple tool to translate "on the fly" one or more words using altavista babelfish's translation page.
To activate babel mousish you must select text to translate while the "alt" key is pressed. When you release the mouse button a little blue box appear where mouse pointer stay. Clicking outside box or on "x" button the babel mousish box disappear.
The Babel Mousish box is splitted in toolbar on top and translation body on bottom. Into translation body there is the text to translate/the translated text, instead, in the toolbar, there is, from left to righe, the following buttons:
* "x": the close button. Clicking it babel mousish box disappear
* "c": the configuration button. Clicking it you have a wizard to change "from" and "to" languages. That settings will be setted permanently into firefox
* "it > en": the translation rule label. It have the "from" and "to" language's appreviations (for example "en > it" means "english to italian"), separated from ">" character. Clicking it you rotate the translation direction
* the yellow fish: the babel fish translation button. clicking it translation start!
Because i'm italian the default translation is from english to italian, but you can change default from babel mousish box or from "User Script Command" menu ("tools" -> "User Script Command" -> "Babel Mousish Preferences")
