EXCELENT

Najlepsza wtyczka jaką używałem od wielu lat, ale okazało się, że przestała istnieć i nie działa. Tłumaczyła całą stroną, albo zaznaczony tekst. Czasem z racji konstrukcji jakiejś strony nie mogła przetłumaczyć jej całej (to zrozumiałe), więc trzeba było tłumaczyć zaznaczony tekst. Teraz szukam czegoś innego i niestety nic równie dobrego nie widzę po przetestowaniu kilkunastu wtyczek.
