Another Firefox Addon for Reading Chinese

Another day, another Firefox addon. I learned from Google Operation System of the gTranslate extension that translates any text on a web page into another language just by selecting the text and right clicking the mouse. It's pretty cool. I installed and tested with English-Chinese and Chinese-English translations. It seems to work really well.

However, it does not seem to be able to detect the language of the original text, so one has to switch the translation setting every time when the direction of translation changes between the same two languages.
