Hi wushi, thanks for the information, particularly on question III. That is disappointing, cause Multitran is best dictionary for RU language. It has most of the words and forum... Too bad they don't go with time and make page in the Unicode :(
I anyway in most cases need "into RU" translation, so it is not so important to me that the other way it won't work right now... Thanks again!!

hi vitaly. About your first question, you may set iframe style with "display:block" in settings to make this Bar remains visible. But it isn't work now, that's a bug. I will fix it in next version.
About second question, this Bar can't auto open in a domain. I suggest you to setup Mouse Gesture Trigger which make the Bar to be triggered more convenient.
About third question, that's because selected text to be converted into utf-8 character, and multitran.ru need windows-1251 character, so you can't get correct result. And Javascript don't have the ability to convert utf-8 character to windows-1251. I suggest you select a unicode-based site.

wushi, must ask: If I translate foreign word into RU, it just works fine with the Multitran addon. But if I enter RU word to translate into another language, the translation does not work and only shows strange things.
This is due to Unicode? On webpage itself it works...
Add: OK, it works if I manuelly set the codepage in Firefox to Cyrillic. If is in Unicode, it has the above effect...

wushi777, WOW GREAT!!! So happy that you added the multitran so quickly. And after some testing it seems to work just great, following your instruction. Thank you so much for your efforts!! :)
May I ask you... Is it possible that the Bar remains visible, even if navigating away from currently viewed webpage? (closing only by pressing F4 again). Or if this is not possible, that it automatically re-opens on each page within a domain, as specified in "Included pages" in Greasemonkey options?

hi vitaly, Because http://multitran.ru/ isn't a unicode-based site, So I put it into a iframe. You need download both multi-lang lookup bar 3.0.1Beta1 and multitran.ru from multilanglookupbar->setting->Box.net, then drag and drop them into firefox's window.
And I suggest you to setup Stylish. Then write the following code in it for helping you filter some content.
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);@-moz-document url-prefix(http://multitran.ru/c/m.exe) {
.topnavy, .b10,.topmenu,#translation {display:none}
}

It is very nice script!!! How about adding the support for http://multitran.ru/ ?
en<->ru
de<->ru
fr<->ru
... It would be great, cause it is very good dictionary.

这个dictionary.com我看没有让我可以选择返回语言种类的地方呀，好像是所有解释都在一个页面里了， 就像是answer.com的解释一样。 如果你知道怎么让页面返回某个固定语言的解释，请告诉我。
另外，这个脚本在不同的字典间切换， 会自动查找上一个单词，这样只要网速快，也可以查看不同语言的解释。

希望你可以添加dictionary.com的字典. 并且可以实现支持N种语言. 例如我可以选择字典同时返回的是英文和中文的解释.

If you need middle-click trigger, you can download it from the following link.

Firefox can not auto-install the script from Box.net. So you need download it into disk, then manually drag and drop it into the window of firefox.

For dangerboy:
FF 3目前是测试版，存在各种兼容性问题是正常的情况。 我还没有移到ff 3中，所以没有办法做调试。你试试在settings->iframe style里写入right:0，看看能不能修正一下。
