Reading Foreign Language Website

One day you've been browsing to search for some information, in my case its news on Morning Musume and AKB48. After a moment, you be directed to japanese page, or whatever language you might find right =)

You dont understand a word in the page, so u have to leave with sad feeling not knowing whats written there... (i've had it many times...huhuhu)

So this is where translator software comes in handy. Yeah, solve my problem. Thanks to momoiro for the tips. Now its my part to share it with all of you.

This trick is only applicable with firefox. First, go to firefox addon page.Click HERE to go to the page. Look for the search column and type 'Translator' in the search box.

It will lead to a page listing all firefox addon for translating pages. There are many kind there, so just choose any you like depends on what type of language you want to translate. I choose East Asian Translator by the way since I only want to translate Japanese to English ^_^

Now, open any of the translator addon and click 'Install'. Firefox will pop-up a window to download and just continue the download (click yes, agree or whatever comes out).

After succesfully install, restart your firefox. And the translator is ready to do the job. For testing, go to any japanese language page. Here's one link for you to try--> TEST

Its done!! Well, not all the sentences structure in correct order since the translator translate it direct from the word so the positioning is not according to the language grammar.

But at least you can finally understand whats written, compared to before - NONE!! Good luck trying this out ^_^
