Dreaming is THE art...
Well guys n gals i saw several posts in this forum about firefox & its useful plugins, but was amazed to see that one particular type of plugin was missing in those posts (well i searched the forum, it wasn't there & hope it isn't there so that i m not repeating anything).
We often come across several sites that are, or may be useful to us - but we can't use them as they are in foreign languages like Russian, Chinese, etc.
I am using two very useful plugins for the purpose - one in particular, for the past several months & they are too good.
1) Translate
Well, this is a cool extension that translates pages from French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Greek, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (simple as well as traditional) and Russian too.
It uses the Google translation tool, as well as Altavista's Babelfish translation tool. We have two options to convert the pages - we can either convert the whole page or we can just convert some specific text.
There are some probs too. If we use it too often to convert the whole page, Altavista sometimes blacklists us & gives error. If we convert some specific text, it opens in a new tab.
Due to this new tab problem, i use a second extension that converts the selected text in the same space. Details are below.
P.S. If a page is converted by this extension, the links opened in that page are automatically converted too.
Download this extension here
Supported Firefox Versions - 1.5.0.1
Reliability - Stable

2) Russ Key
This extension translates Russian text on web pages simply by its context menu - shortcut keys are also given. The main feature of this extension is that it translates the text on the same space as the original text and uses 3 different translators (namely AltaVista, freetranslation.com and free.translated.net) using round-robin fail-over mechanism.
Download this extension here
Supported Firefox Versions -0.8 to 1.6a1
Reliability - Strong.
