Or since you don't need to see path that often (and they can be long and ugly across the title bar) just click on folder icon in title bar while holding Command down and the path pops up in a drop-down menu and you can go to any higher-level folder.

friendfeedTranslate - Update [v0.2] - Real-time! - http://wittman.org/project...
eske, Yuval Atzmon, Walt Ruppar and 31 other people liked this
Real-time translation can now be performed in a feed stream (not just in single post view). Using the bookmarklet (btw, you're previous version bookmarklet will auto-update), click to start auto translation each time you navigate to a new page ... With the user script, turn on auto-translate in Configuration as follows: autoTranslateEnabled = true; var autoTranslateRealtimeEnabled = true; ... In a feed stream, only the translation is shown, in a single post view both original text and translation shown. Note that some posts appear as a foreign language to the Google Translate API, sometimes triggered by simply by having a link or non-dictionary word in the text. So expect some false positives (highlighted in yellow, yet are essentially the same before and after translation) ... Original release ff post: http://friendfeed.com/friendf...

Thank you Micah. Well done again

Good to hear from you, Mohomed - thanks.
- Micah Wittman
this is fantastic. so do I need to replace the old bookmarklet, or will it update on its own?
- chrisofspades
chrisofspades, it's auto-updated - so you're good (if there's any doubt that the browser has cached the older version, clear cache as necessary). For archive of the previous version see http://wittman.org/project...
- Micah Wittman
Is there any way there can be an option to have both original text and translation for at least the initial posts on stream pages? This is killing the links included in them. Take a look at my page to see what I mean: http://friendfeed.com/app103

April, yes, there shouldn't be much adjustment for me to make it an option. I get back you :)

- Micah Wittman
I have to set keepOriginalTextInRealtime = true, because the links in the translated title aren't clickable

Unfortunately, that's right, Franc. Chrome has significant problems with bookmarklets / user scripts that of even moderate complexity at this point. I'm hoping the Google team working on this improves support sooner than later.

In the Configuration section of the code, you can change the language From and language To settings.

UPDATE RELEASE [v0.1.2] - Added auto-language detection handling (in Configuration, you can set an explicit language with var languageCodeFrom; the default is set to auto-detect). Also added an autoTranslate option in Configuration. To automatically translate title/comments when a single entry page is loaded, set var autoTranslateEnabled = true;

FOR ALL AVAILABLE GOOGLE TRANSLATION API SUPPORTED LANGUAGES SEE CODES HERE: http://code.google.com/apis... - Then in the script's Configuration section, change var languageCodeTo = 'en' to whatever code matches the language you want a post translated TO.
- Micah Wittman
This is great, Micah... I've been mystified why that last piece is always missing... the auto-translate from languages you don't understand. This really should be built into the low-levels of twitter, friendfeed, etc., so that static stuff is translated once and shared if poss., the dynamic stuff just cache invalidates any translations.... or something like that.
- Richard Walker *popcorn*
This is one of my favourite auto-detect translated pages so far: http://friendfeed.com/lovepho... - man, even as rough as programmatic translations are today, it really helps open up inaccessible worlds :)

Micah: you might have a use for the JS script in one of my projects: http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums... My friend Krishean did the script for it (the same guy that did the dragable bookmarklet hack). I have another version from him that I haven't compiled yet, that self-updates the language list, so I won't have to release a new version if Google decides to add new languages.

SCRIPT UPDATE HERE: http://friendfeed.com/friendf...
- Micah Wittman
SCRIPT UPDATE [v0.1.5] - Added autoProtocolMatchingEnabled and onlyUseSecureProtocolCompatibleFeatures Configuration options. Now a secure protocol (https) for the current page is detected and all script references will be set to https in that case. Since userscripts.org does not support https, the onlyUseSecureProtocolCompatibleFeatures options controls whether to use that feature (which connects with http) or not. ~~~ As requested here: http://friendfeed.com/baiyssy...
- Micah Wittman
SCRIPT UPDATE [v0.1.6] - Fix to v0.1.5 so that onlyUseSecureProtocolCompatibleFeatures only prevents feature use if a secure connection is present.

Great work. But I found one issue that after the translation, some links are converted to plain text that no longer work.
- Yinfei Zhang
That's a good point, Yinfei. I'll see what I can do for a future release. For now, if you go into single post view (click timestamp) you will see the original html which should always have the working links. Thank you for the feedback - I really appreciate it.

much needed mod
- MikeAmundsen
Ok, thanks for the feedback everyone here. I just posted v0.24 which now has some key layout/style options in a Configuration section near the top of the script. The default position of the "[ Comment ]" link is left (instead of centred). I had originally gone with centred because I found my mouse pointer was thereabouts when I was wheel scrolling up and down the page, so it was a shortest-distance-to-the-target that drove the decision. But April's style is better looking, so it's the default config now :)
- Micah Wittman
how about combining with the expand comments button since it is only needed on very long discussions
- Mike Chelen
Mike Chelen, but an important use case is you've already expanded a long thread, have read from top to bottom and are now ready to comment (the expand N more comments link is gone at that point).
- Micah Wittman
Issue with the latest update: It's adding like links to a user's own items, which as we all know you aren't allowed to like your own stuff.

Awesome. I'm going back to FF 3.0 to read FriendFeed until Greasemonkey is available for 3.5 (what's taking so long?)
- Brad Kligerman
How do we "disable enter key submits comment?"
- DarknessFalls
@DarknessFalls: Right-click the Greasemonkey icon. Select "Manage User Scripts..." Highlight the friendfeedCommentBottomLink script and click the "Edit" button. (If this is your first time doing this then you will be prompted to locate a text editor. Windows has Notepad.exe, and Mac has Textedit in Applications.) Find the enableEnterKeyDoesNewlineNotSubmit setting near the top of the script and change "false" to "true". Save the change and refresh the Friendfeed page and you're done.
- Andy Bold
@Micah: One thing that I have noticed - when you enable enableEnterKeyDoesNewlineNotSubmit the comment entry box does not resize. It stays stuck in single-line mode. I'm using Firefox 3.0.10 on Mac. :)
- Andy Bold
Andy, I must have something set wrong somewhere because when I try to edit, a window opens to the Firefox directory. No file to edit. Where does Greasemonkey store the scripts?
- Curtis Jackson
Alan, it will be different per machine, for instance Firefox stores my scripts something like: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\agf0etrd.default\gm_scripts\friendfeedcommentbottoml\friendfeedcommentbottoml.user.js But you don't have to go there directly if GreaseMonkey has been associated with a text editor. Right click, manage scripts, then there a button or checkbox of some sort that allows you to choose an editor (notepad.exe, or whatever).
- Micah Wittman
[[[ FUNCTIONALITY CAVEAT HERE ]]]: Andy, regarding box resizing - yes, I should state the caveat that (until I can figure out a way to achieve a more nuanced approach in the code) the keypress event bound to the comment box is disabled, which includes multi-line and re-sizing, and character count display (when it goes past the threshold). I'll make this clearer in the post. Thanks!
- Micah Wittman
Alan, What Micah said :-) Any Mac peeps reading this can find the scripts in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/SomeRandomString.default/gm_scripts
- Andy Bold
<ahem> After reading the Title Bar of the window, I now realize Greasemonkey was asking me for my default editor. Whoopsie!
- Curtis Jackson
No prob, Alan.
- Micah Wittman
Micah, thanks for clearing that up! I'll file it under "Feature" for now, and install this : http://userscripts.org/scripts... :-) (Been meaning to do this for a while anyway. It's one thing from Safari that I miss in Firefox - the ability to re-size any text box.) (Edit: Blah - script doesn't work. Never mind. :)
- Andy Bold
Alan : I just updated my original post. Thanks for reminding me that Greasemonkey does this! :-)
- Andy Bold
Andy, no problem. It's a shame Greasemonkey doesn't ask when it's installed. THAT would be the time I'd expect configuration questions. :)

was anyone able to get the bottom comment and like to work on Chrome 2.0 on Vista?
- Harold
@Kol: not sure why my last comment didn't bump this back up to the current topics... but were you able to get this working on Vista & Chrome 2.0 ?
- Harold
Harold, it's not just you. Chrome 2 has some odd hangup with certain general purpose code that should execute fine but doesn't. When I (or someone else - please let me know) figures it out, I'll update you. I'm sure it's frustrating for you, I know it is for me. Stay tuned :)
- Micah Wittman
Harold, I think the reason our comments aren't bumping this up to the top of this group is there's an algorithm that considers the age of the post (based on creation date I'm thinking) as part of the decision to bump to top or not upon additional comments.
- Micah Wittman
@Micah, I started working on integrating the bottom comment with the Cleaner Friend Feed script. If I get it working, I'll be sure to let you know.

How much overhead is there in running greasemonkey? Any chance FriendFeed will finally fix this themselves after all this time?
- Internet Strategist
A FriendFeed intern just acknowledged my request in another thread for them to look into fixing these usability issues.
- Internet Strategist
In my experience, the overhead of the greasemonkey extension itself isn't perceptible. The script(s) you have activated on the other hand can be - it all depends on what the script tries to acheive and how well optimized it is (lag can often be a consequence of scripts that make requests to other web services that may not be responsive).
- Micah Wittman

(context is WinXP): "This error is usually caused by a missing greasemonkey configuration file or gm_scripts directory.

Ok, ok. Here's the deal. The DVD was scratched so we had to skip A KEY SCENE where Jason Bateman does something and then Ellen is all cry'y and stuff and takes off. WUT HAPPENED?!! Seriously, I need a latent spoiler stat.
