What's new in BabelFish Instant Translation 1.81:

April 3rd, 2009

· Added: Support for custom service definitions (plugins) a feature which was requested by many users. So users will be able to use their preferred translation services in place of Google and Yahoo. Once a developer edited/created a service definition file it can be saved as plugin.txt. By openinig the textfile (via Firefox or URL) the plugin can be used by any other user.

· Improved: Automated translations (e.g. if languages are changed the current text will be retranslated automatically).
· Improved: Translations of long text (better split algorithm, fixed missing whitespaces).
· Improved fallback algorithm (if one service fails another will be tried automatically).
· Improved: Language detection now works without text selection (in most cases).
· Improved: Hover mode & fixed bug (non working single word translation in text areas).
· Improved: A language menu can be skipped just by clicking anywhere outside.
· Modified: Auto-recalibration is replaced by an integrated service editor.
