Popup View for Google™ Translate - Firefox Add-on

"Popup View for Google™ Translate" is a Firefox add-on that allows users to access the popular Google Translate service directly on any webpage. Users can highlight a word or sentence, bringing up a bubble with Google Translate close to the selected text. This addon lets users translate inside the current page, bypassing the need of opening a new tab. The popup view also auto-hides when clicked outside, eliminating the need to close it manually. Additional features include a right-click context menu for translation, and link options to Google Define or Google Translate.
