Userscripts.org

Hi,

I've been using Twitter and Tweetdeck and i've already got a nice userscript (Twitter Translate http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/38322) that translates foreigh language tweets into English using Google API. Additionally, theres a translate option in the desktop app Tweetdeck for tweets. While Tweetdeck can do Facebook updates now, the translate option is missing for these updates, and besides, Tweetdeck is kinda memory intensive.

So, i'm after something that can hook into facebook and either auto translate the statuses into English or add a little button so that I can have the option.

Any takers?

That would be pretty sweet-- all my Korean friends post cryptic messages, haha.

Ask Vaughn to do it : http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8861

He has the best facebook script, imo, and this would be the perfect script to add it to.

I created a topic.

Good idea. I already use Facebook Fixer...

I'll work on adding this to the next release of Facebook Fixer

Well it took a while, but Facebook Fixer now has translation feature. I didn't implement it as a button though. Just select the text you want translated and press T (shift + t). A new tab/window will open with the translated text courtesy of Google Translate. I will probably change it so its not a new tab, but for now that was the fastest way to go.

You can change the translation language in the config screen (instructions on how to get there are on the script's home page).
