If you often translate bits and pieces using Google Translator, here’s one way to quickly access it:
Now if you find a bit you want to translate, you can copy it, then type translate followed by a blank into the address bar, paste the text, and hit return. The text “translate” is your custom keyword as you provided it, and the “%s” tells Firefox that you want to pass a parameter which will be appended to the URL.
There are surely many other ways to access translation tools in the browser – what is your preferred approach?
