quick and easy language translation on the web

The latent linguist in me is really geeking out this morning now that I've found lingro.

Lingro is a web-based tool that allows you to make each word on a web page clickable to be translated into one of a growing number of languages (English, French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish so far).

As an example, you can see this blog "lingro-fied" where clicking on any word in the blog will spring the translation popup into action and you can click on the flag at the top of the popup to choose what you want to translate into or from. Bonus feature: you can hear someone pronounce the word with a click of the mouse!

I'll find this most useful in reading sites in languages other than English where I need help with one or two words. Yes, there's room for improvement: idioms and the like, but that's the holy grail for on-the-fly translations, no?

Give it a try!
