Franker by Yurii Soldak

Franker is a Safari 5 extension which mimics Ilya Frank’s Reading Method for web sites.

The method helps people learn foreign languages and differs from common parallel texts method used in many books in a way it injects translation directly into the original text. Injections are small (usually several words or sentence, with notes if necessary). This way you read sentence on foreign language first, then check you understand everything correctly by translation and learn new words and phrases in context.

The extension does its best to mimic the method using Google Translate; it does NOT produce the same result as real method would. Obviously this simple script can’t make useful notes and doesn’t do deep analysis of a text, it just translates complete sentences.
