FORGOT TO MENTION
1. The translation is automatically copied to clipboard.
2. You can also select text in search boxes or text areas (like the youtube comment box) and alt click the selected text.
3. Alt+Click means hold down alt and left click

Testing:
Tested on the latest firefox including version 3 beta 5. Many have reported it working on ubuntu, mac, vista, xp.

Known Issues:
1. If you have another extension reserving alt click this may not work.
2. If it won’t let you install the extension try the download at the bottom of this video description.

If you want to translate custom stuff you can go directly to

Mozilla Page
http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6938

If it doesn’t let you download it try this:

Unzip it and then drag and drop google_translate.xpi into firefox.
