These keyword bookmarks either translate the current page, or even translate a phrase directly from the Firefox location bar. If you aren't sure how to create keyword bookmarks in the first place, be sure and check out our guide to Firefox and the art of keyword bookmarking, and then check out how to make them even smarter with some javascript magic.
Google translate a phrase:
This keyword bookmark lets you translate a phrase by simply entering it into the location bar—create a new bookmark with a keyword like trans, give it a name, and paste in the following javascript code:
javascript:strRaw="%s";strArray=strRaw.split("%20");for(i=3;i<strArray.length;i++){strArray[2]=strArray[2]+"%20"+strArray[i];};location="http://translate.google.com/translate_t?sl="+strArray[0]+"&tl="+strArray[1]+"#"+strArray[0]+"|"+strArray[1]+"|"+strArray[2]
Now you can use the bookmark with this syntax (you can also use "auto" as the source language).
trans <from lang> <to lang> <phrase>
As an example, you would use the following to translate the phrase "no hablo espanol" into English:
trans es en no hablo espanol
Google translate the current web page:
This bookmark works similarly to the first one, except you only need the to and from la! nguage:< br>
javascript:strRaw="%s";strArray=strRaw.split("%20",3);location="http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u="+location.href+"&sl="+strArray[0]+"&tl="+strArray[1]
So to translate the current page from an unknown language to English, you would use the following (if you named the keyword "translate").
translate auto en
Intelligent translate:
The last version combines both techniques together, making a smart bookmark that detects whether you entered a phrase after the to/from languages and either translates the phrase or the current page.
javascript:strRaw="%s";strArray=strRaw.split(" ");if(strArray.length==2){location="http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u="+location.href+"&sl="+strArray[0]+"&tl="+strArray[1];}else{for(i=3;i<strArray.length;i++){strArray[2]=strArray[2]+"%20"+strArray[i];};location="http://translate.google.com/translate_t?sl="+strArray[0]+"&tl="+strArray[1]+"#"+strArray[0]+"|"+strArray[1]+"|"+strArray[2];};
These bookmarks just barely show off the power of this technique, and we'd love to hear some of your ideas for powerful keyword bookmarks that show off the command line comeback. Thanks, Jerry Lue!
If all this keyword bookmarking is new and Greek to you, you can check out our guide to Firefox and the art of keyword bookmarking, grab our 15 Firefox quick search bookmarks, and then get really productive by creating keywor! d bookma rks to Gmail labels.
With Unicode characters, David is able to divide his labels into logical groups without a a custom script like Folders4Gmail.
Right now I'm using these (see screenshot):
▶ Main categories (e.g. financial information, social networks)
✉ Other email accounts
✦ Individuals
❤ Lady-type individuals
➡ Single source (e.g. just eBay)But there are plenty of good ones to play with:
✖ ✔ ✸ ● ■
◢ ◣ ◤ ◥
◧ ◨ ◩ ◪
▲ ▼ ▶ ◀
♂ ♀ ♪ ♫ ☼I used the Wikipedia list of Unicode characters for reference:
The sort order is the handy bit to keep in mind. I picked ✦ (U+2726) for individuals because it's just a little above ❤ (U+2764).
I'm also using Unicode on my Gmail task lists. I have my other lists named in plain text, and I've used an arrow to sort my main list ("➡ main") to the bottom.
Very cool, David!

Sure, you could probably pick out a model or two that aren't here (especially since I cropped a row for the lead shot), but if this picture illustrates anything, it's that, yes, the netbook market has become commoditized—though only at the cost of also becoming horrendously confusing with all the product spam.

Unfortunately, this gorgeous iPhone shot captured by amateur photographer Jason Erdkamp reveals that there are no leprechauns or pots of gold at the end of a rainbow—just SUVs. Bummer. [
