As a novice French speaker, I constantly need the services of French to English Translator while reading articles/blogs/posts on French web sites.

Using Babel fish or google translator was a real pain as I had to copy/past all the time.
Not to mention the fact that i had to move away from the page I was just reading just to find out the meaning of a certain word which caused a real headache.

So, i decided that i need a "on the spot , never leave the page I was on" translator.
I'm sure there (probably) are solutions but decided it would take by far less to time to write something on my own that would fit exactly to what I need instead of spending time searching for solutions that might not be ideal.

So once you get GM French monkey , you'll be able to get on the spot translation (Google based) displayed on a small floating pop op.

To top it all, if you'll press on the link "click here to hear the sound", you'll be able to also hear the French pronunciation (with additional explanation in French) to the translated word (do not use more then a single translated word when using this option).

Note 1: this service is provided by http://dictionnaire.mediadico.comoption and it might respond slowly.
Note 2: when clicking the "click here to hear the sound", a child popup window will appear (hosting http://dictionnaire.mediadico.comoption). when you're done listening, you'll need to close this window. In future I'll consider closing it automatically.
