Summary

The Firefox web browser from Mozilla is not only a great open source web browser. It's also a fabulous tool for language learners! It would take a long time to list and go through all of the cool things you can do with the addons (extensions of Firefox's core functionality) in the language section of Firefox Addons. Several articles have already been published a few of articles on the topic (see related articles below), one of which contains a link to Firefox addons for translation.

However, another, cooler, resource has just popped up on the radar and anyone dealing with learning languages online, translation, researching and/or reading content in foreign languages on the Web is encouraged to check out this amazing repository for Firefox addons for Language support. The link has been pre-defined for showing the addons that have been updated most recently, both experimental and stable. Here are a few more pre-defined links that will sort the addons by number of downloads, rating and name.

There is a lot of them, but it's definitely worth the time to sift through and find the ones that work for you.

Cheers to CodePublic.org for the link! Below is an example of an addon listing for a Chinese pop-up translator.

Summary

Café Babel is a multilingual European political, economic and cultural news magazine published by over 20 local teams in many EU countries. The site has news, cultural and linguistic goodies in catalá, Deutsch, English, español, français, italiano and polski.

Café Babel publishes several mini-magazines that bring light to several topics:

• Caffeine
• Tower of Babel (Very cool!)
• Enlarged Europe
• Brunch with...
• Cities
• What's On

The growing network of local teams that makes up Café Babel are European youths interested in and focused on trans-European world affairs, politics, society, economy and culture. To get a more personal look at some of the members of this team (the ladies, at least), have a look at this flickr photo album of The Women of Café Babel. Pretty cool, and it makes it more personal. (Miglena, Araceli, Camelia: if you read this drop me a line. :)

This particular news feed is the Catalan language site-wide RSS feed. You can use it to keep up with what's hot over at Café Babel and practice your Catalan or give students some current events to work with. Many of the articles are written in multiple languages, providing learners and educators alike with excellent material.
