CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This free Firefox add-on promises one-click access for translating words while you browse the Web. It worked well enough, but we didn't care for its interface.
FreeTranslate operates through your context menu. Once you select a word, a simple right-click displays a list of 10 language options, including Spanish, French, Dutch, and English, and you can translate words between all of the languages. On our first go around, we selected a word, and opted to translate it from English to Spanish. We expected a pop-up window, but were disappointed when our browsing was interrupted by a new window for freetranslate.org. We changed our Firefox settings to open a new tab for search results, but it was annoying nonetheless. Plus, more often than not, freetranslate.org could not translate even the most basic, straightforward words--words that we knew had Spanish equivalents.
After all was said and done, we weren't impressed by this tool. Its just as easy to visit one of the many free language-translation Web sites on your own. We'd rather wait for a more capable translation tool.
