So whoever find this interesting, might as well check that script also.

I believe that language shouldn't be a barrier for art sharing.
Have you ever found yourself staring at some foreign language comment here on dA, having no clue what it says, but desperately trying to figure it out?
Well, have no fear sayWhat is here to chase your worries away!
...kind of...

It's just a little something that crossed my mind while I was commenting on a deviation by GoranCaBuhOcTojuh.
It's a greaseMonkey script that adds a small translate button on each comment here on deviantART. It uses the Google Ajax Language API to translate the comment from number of different languages to English (google does cross-translation, but this script currently translates only to English). It's not perfect, but it'll help you understand at least what the comment is generally all about. Neat.

In order to use it, you must be using Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox, and you must have the Greasemonkey extension installed.
Next, click the
≣ INSTALL SCRIPT ≣to install the script and a greaseMonkey script installation window will open. To install the script press the "Install" button.
A little translate button will be added on each comment, right above the "reply" button. And that's it. You're ready to go.


It cannot be simpler. You click the button, wait for the google server to respond, and the translation will magically appear where the old comment was. If you want to see the old comment again, just press the button again.
I hope you'll find this little script useful.
Cheers.

It doesn't work in Firefox 8.0 with Greasemonkey 0.9.13.beta1. Too bad, i was really looking forward to using this script.
