All I had to do is to click in the "Translate" button and the URL was updated.
The instant translation doesn't update the URL.
The URL format is:
http://translate.google.com/#origin_language_or_auto|destination_language|encoded_phrase
or
http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&sl=auto&tl=destination_language&text=encoded_phrase
If you want ...

There's no way to control talking speed in the Translate site (and you're right, it does speak pretty fast in French), nor is there any provision for it in the Google Translate API.
(For the record, this is true for 10/11/11, so please, don't deduct points from this 2 years from now if/when Google starts providing speech controls :))

Get something like this keyboard with lower case letters printed on the keys so you don't have the problem of the mis-match between what he presses and what he sees on the screen. I don't know whether there is a Norwegian version of this or not.

You can't do that by translating the page through the Google Translate, because you're running inside an iframe, so it's basically works only for public pages that doesn't require login.
Install Google Chrome and visit this page. It will offer you to translate it, or if it's not then right click anywhere on the page then choose to translate this page.

Here's another alternative that works if you wanted to share the link on Facebook for instance:

Example
http://translate.google.com/#auto/en/С+днём+рождения!
This link, when clicked would take you to the Google Translate page, auto detect the ...

I had a very similar situation, my Google Account default language settings was already set to English; there are 2 solutions to this:
1st Solution, applies to all Google services:
Change the language here: https://www.google.com/settings/language, go from English to another language, confirm then revert to English again
2nd Solution, applies to the ...

First of all, I recommend you to start with clearing your Google cookies, since I think it can be that Google stores your language in a cookie as well.
After your did that, head over to https://www.google.com/settings/language and select your language. Normally all Google services should be in that language by default then, but I know of some that manage ...

Just go on Google Translate and paste the URL to translate in the left box. Select your target (and source) language and click on the resulting link in the right box.
You will be redirected to the translated website in the desired language. The URL can be shared with others to share the translated website.
Because the translation URLs are very long, I tend ...

The Text-To-Speech functionality that Google Translate uses is experimental so not all languages are available at present.
This is taken from the Google Translate Support document:
An experimental text-to-speech system
(TTS) is available for several other
languages, powered by the eSpeak
open-source speech synthesizer:
Afrikaans, Albanian, ...

There is an online Wiktionary in your language.
When I choose the "Deutsch" Wiktionary, and type in a word -- it doesn't matter if that is an English word, a Spanish word, a German word, etc. -- it gives me the definition(s) of the word I typed in German.
Wiktionary also allows you add the (by now, relatively few) words that haven't yet been added to the ...

If you go to Google Dictionary, there is a dropdown that lets you pick a language pair (source & target languages can be different) or the dictionary for a specific language (available only for a few languages) & then looks up the meaning of a submitted word.

For the German 'du' familiar form simply type 'du' instead of 'you'.
Example:
"What do du want?"
will translate as
"was willst du werden?"
Just be sure to type 'du' the first time. If you accidentally type 'you' it keeps it in the proper 'Sie' formulation.
Hope that helps.

Using "thou" sometimes helps, and so does "you all", but there is no foolproof way to get the correct form.
Google translate is based on statistical inference (not structural parsing / substitution), so the vous/tu usage is inconsistent.
you are very pretty -> tu es très jolie
you are very nice -> vous êtes très belle
I can only speculate ...

The twitter search web interface has this functionality already:
Clicking this translates all tweets on the page to english, or presumably whatever language you have set in your preferences:
It doesn't seem to be be implemented anywhere else on twitter though, which is a shame, and I can't find any way of getting your timeline as a search query to use ...
