I remember I once got my computer to give me a work in a specific language when the cursor went over it. For example, if I move the mouse over the word "water" in French it would say "l'eau." How do I do this? I have Windows Vista on my PC.

bump. I googled it but all I found was separate programs. I think it should work with Firefox. But the only thing I am finding with Firefox is this program where a box pops up and translates something for you. Not what I am looking for.

I vaguely remember something like this happening when you translate a webpage via google translate. When you place the cursor over the translated text, it displays the original. Hope that helps somehow.

Its a feature on google toolbar.
Click on the wrench icon, go to tools, then go to translate & choose your language.
