Does any one know if there is a plugin that allows you to hoover over a
word and get an instant translation. Recent Windows Word lets you do this.

When I am reading books in Spanish or French occasionally an unknown
vocabulary word appears. This would be extremely handy especially when
new at learning a language.

The only Linux translation tool I can find is Golden Dictionary and haven't investigated it that far.

Babylon is the right idea but it is a horribly invasive software company--toolbars
you can't get rid of etc... I try not to use Wine anyway.

My OS Opensuse 12.2
