Abstract
Apparatus and methods allow users of document editors to real-time translate language of text from a first to a second language. During use, users indicate a selection for translation in a typing area of the document editor. The document editor seeks translation from a remote language translation service, especially by way of internet http requests. Processing of returned translations also occurs to present users with a useable form of the translation. Other aspects include seeking translations from multiple language translation services and selecting a best translation for display, according to a predetermined criteria. Users can also select preferred languages for translation. Retrofitting existing document editors contemplates inserting executable code, in the form of plug-ins or macros, and executing them to obtain translations. Executable code is available as a computer program product in the form of a download or on a computer-readable medium.
