Much better! Thanks. Do you want to post a revised pet or should I? Very nice mod.

With kind regards,

this version displays correctly < > " & ' (without changing them)
except: some languages seem to be trained to translate & as and.

I have filtered from_text and to_text using sed, see dat/flt_upstream and flt_downstream and
SUB translate
FUNCTION extract_translated_text()

Having finished this I discovered your html_clean.bac , too late.
My sed solution has the advantage that you can play with the filters without recompiling.

Added some tooltips and changed help to display buttons.

Regards

So this gxlat - Desktop Google Translator redux cannot be better

And yes, this version was the latest and is the last, see aragon's post

If you want to use it you must download and click and click...the executable file is gxlat in a directory gxlat where you liked to have it have extracted.
