Thanks to Dmitriy Kostikov for pointing in the right direction 0.6 - no more explicit 'translate from' option - autodetect is good enough. Also fixes #8 - fixed: erases closing tag on html/xml listing (#6) - fixed: part of speech is now bold on every page (#9) 0.5 - text selection translate (#4) - fixed: drops text selection (#7) 0.4 - report translation fail. As opposed to simply not showing anything to user - hide translation on page scroll - prompt user to choose target language, in case it isn't set. Useful for new installs - source language is now a configurable option (defaults to 'autodetect') - translation delay is now configurable option - remove "don't translate from these languages" option - gotten rid of explicit api call to detect language. Turns out dictionary api can do it itself. - popup fadeIn/fadeOut. As opposed to hide/show 0.3 - reduced delay before translation start
