Highlight2Translate ver 1.0 (updated 9/10/2008):

Function:
Highlight any text (of any language) on the screen, a translation box will appear near your cursor
and the text will be translated into English ( using google language api)

Example:

This example shows how the script translates "毒南" in Chinese to "South poisoning" in English

ver 1.1 (updated 1/1/2009):

Happy new Year!

Today I added a list of translation so that users can change the language after translation easier,
by editing a line in the source code, for example:
__________________________________________________________________________________________
if users change the line 103 from
languageAfterTranslation=languageAfterTranslationSet['ENGLISH']
to
languageAfterTranslation=languageAfterTranslationSet['CHINESE']

then the translation will be in Chinese rather than in English
