This code is a JavaScript bookmarklet that translates the current page into Traditional Chinese using Google Translate.
javascript: location.href='https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=zh-TW&u='+location.href
Explanation[edit]
1. `javascript:` - This part tells the browser that this is JavaScript code.
2. `location.href=` - This will redirect the browser to a new URL.
3. `'https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=zh-TW&u='` - This is the Google Translate URL, where:
- `sl=auto` means automatically detect the source language
- `tl=zh-TW` specifies the target language as Traditional Chinese. Or replace with `tl=en` to specify the target language as English
- `hl=` (optional) specifies the interface language of Google Translate itself. For example:
- `hl=en` displays the Google Translate interface in English
- `hl=zh-TW` displays the Google Translate interface in Traditional Chinese
- If omitted, Google Translate will use your browser's default language
- `u=` will be followed by the URL of the page to be translated
4. `+location.href` - This appends the current page's URL to the Google Translate URL.
