Table of Contents
Introduction
The kdeaddons package contains several plugins for Konqueror. Despite their small size, they provide additional functions and ease the use of some of the functions Konqueror already contains, by making them more accessible.
More information on the use of Konqueror and it's built in functionality, can be found in the Kicker handbook.
The Plugins described in this handbook are:

The Babel Konqueror plugin gives you quick access to the Babelfish translation service.
Babelfish is a machine translation service provided by AltaVista.
The plugin allows you to automatically translate web pages between several languages.
To use, simply click the 
and select from the
list that drops down the language to translate from and the language
to translate to.
If you have a portion of the text on the page selected, that will be translated instead of the entire URL.
Not all languages are available from the Babelfish service.
Important
Machine translation is not a perfect science! Babelfish will at best give you a rough translation, and at worst will give you a very funny read. Don't base important decisions on things you have read from a Babelfish translated page, without confirming that the translation is indeed accurate.
Note
You may only translate web pages that are accessible on the world wide web. To translate any other text, you should go directly to the Babelfish site itself, where you are able to paste in text for translation.
