Internet Explorer "Translate English Word" Feature ???

[Guest]

When highlight a word in Internet Explorer (6.0), and then left-click on the
word I get a drop-down menu with the following choices "Cut, Copy, Paste,
Select All, Print" plus "Google Search" (from my Google toolbar), "Translate
English Word", "Search Dictionary" and "Search Thesaurus" (the last two are
from my Dictionary.com toolbar).

My question is about the "Translate English Word" choice. When I right-click
on that feature, a small window opens with the title "Microsoft Internet
Explorer" and the highlighted English word is shown translated into Spanish.
My other PC and a laptop, which also have the Google and Dictionary.com
toolbars installed, do not show the "Translate English Word" choice.

I don't recall ever having installed the "Translate English Word" feature or
enabling any such feature. I have searched through the various "Options" and
"Help" menus, but couldn't find where it came from and am wondering how it
got into my PC. Can anyone shed some light on this? Please.

That "translate" feature comes with the latest version of the Google
toolbar. Your other PCs probably don't have the latest version yet.

Jon, thank you very much for your post. Yes, the translator evidently came
with the latest version of the Google Toolbar 3.0.124.6 (versus 2.0.114.9 on
my laptop) and it was set to Spanish. What puzzles me is that in the "Toolbar
Options" the WordTranslator was not enabled (it is now, and I changed the
language to German).

Thanks again,
