Google Proxy - My First Greasemonkey User Script
I know... I'm very late on all of this. Greasemonkey isn't new and neither is using Google Translate as a proxy/tunnel. Heck, there's probably already a Greasemonkey script that combines the two! Nonetheless, Greasemonkey is new to me and I decided to write this for fun even though I'm not sitting behind a corporate proxy myself.
Google Proxy will add two "User Script Commands" to your FireFox Tools->Greasemonkey->User Script Commands... menu:
- Google Proxy - Prompt URL - This command will prompt you for a URL to navigate to via Google Translate.
- Google Proxy - This Page's Links - This command will convert all of the links on the page to navigate to the original destination via Google Translate.
It's important to note that when Google Translate navigates to a URL, it also automatically converts all of the links on the translated page.
Special thanks to Jim Wilson for sparking my interest in Greasemonkey and sharing his Yoda ways with JavaScript.
