Great!  That does indeed provide on-the-fly Google (and other) translation
of text in Emacs.

I gave it a quick try.  Had to customize a few options for my context:
`text-translator-proxy-server' (company firewall),
`text-translator-default-engine' (test Japanese-to-English, instead of
the default, which is English-to-Japanese, so set to "google.com_jaen",
not "google.com_enja").

Works like a charm.  Just select some text in the Japanese Emacs tutorial
or some other buffer with Japanese text, and then hit `C-x M-t'.  You
get the output in buffer `*translated* [google.com_jaen]'.

One odd thing that would need to be massaged: The displayed output
from Google shows a few untranslated Japanese phrases followed by this:

 " onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ebeff9'
 " onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">

Dunno whether that represents a Google translation web-site bug or is
an artifact of the text-translator.el code.  When you use the web site
interactively both the untranslated phrase and the Javascript are not
shown.  Perhaps the text-translator.el code just needs to strip this
stuff out.
