The latest release of Toolbar for IE includes a fix for the DPI known issue and a few user requests. If your DPI setting is higher than 96 (more than 100%), then your search box view will have a few changes: the bottom of your search box text will no longer hang outside of the box and will fit appropriately within the box. We have also increased the number of buttons allowed on the Toolbar from 6 buttons to 10 buttons. Simply use the More button to add buttons individually. Finally, if you desire to revert back to the traditional look and feel of Toolbar we've added an option in the More button menu to "Show all buttons". Click this option to see all of your buttons.

More love for our multilingual Toolbar users

(Cross-posted from the Google Translate Blog)

Last July we enabled automatic page translations in Google Toolbar and we’ve been thrilled by the positive response. Today, we’re taking another step to make automatic translation easier. Now, if Google Toolbar’s default language is set to one of our supported languages, you can use our new Word Translator feature to hover over a word with your mouse and get an automatic instant translation. If you want Toolbar to translate into a different language, you can change it in the Toolbar Options menu.

Entire page translations are great if you have little knowledge of a given language. However, if you’re a multi-lingual user who just needs certain words translated, hovering is a lot quicker than searching word-by-word on Google Translate.

Here is an example of the word “vitesse” (speed) translated from French to German:

The new Word Translator feature is available for Internet Explorer and Firefox. And if you use Google Chrome, automatic page translation is already built in, and we're working to build more Translate features.

We hope this helps you browse pages in non-native languages faster, regardless of your language proficiency. Install the latest Toolbar version and give it a try!
