I have been using the Google translator for ages now and I absolutely swear by it . But it's always had a few glitches, a couple of the languages listed never work mainly English to Arabic and vice versa, but now suddenly I can not get it to work at all.  I type my text , then f5, hit translate and my text disappears This is the same thing that has always happened if I tried to translate to Arabic. I have many foreign contacts and I  rely on this translator, a lot. I have tried the babel fish one also but none of the options are there to use it .  I also tried f4 and f6 per advice given to someone in another thread but they didn't do anything at all.  Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am open to other translators if there are any.

thanks

first of all, cool to see someone else from the same city posting here.

ON the issue of translators, Google Translate and AltaVista's Babel Fish are probably going to be the best free translators you're going to find. If you feel like spending some money, there are lots of services that will have a real person spend the time to give you an accurate translation.

EDIT: I just tried the Babel Fish translator script that i have installed already, and it appears to be working.

EDIT 2: I downloaded the google translator script, and i can see why its not working, the translate web page has changed slightly.

Fixed the script. Attaching it

EDIT again:
added support for RTL languages as well (arabic wasn't being translated)

working great now, even better than the original I downloaded
