Hi Pablo. Thanks for your sharing! Very kind of you! This add-on is a very cool for who are using FireFox to surf internet, Even though it is not that perfect thus far. I thought it will become like other add-ons of Firefox, upgrade and upgrade, finally turn out to be a fantastic one! Since I began to use Google Wave, I have already changed my brower from Firefox to Chrome, so to say, what I need now is a musthave tool for Chrome, but I have not find a proper one yet. The way I translate English word of web page is to go to English dictionary online like dictionary.reference.com, which have the feature of pronouncing too, also, have the ability to pronounce 'slept'. :))) However, it's just not as convenient as a brower's add-on.
