I don't think it has Japanese, and I don't think it's optimal, but it occurs to me that it could be a very useful tool for sentence mining, if it would export to CSV.
For those who don't want to watch the boring, stupidly long video...
It's a firefox addon that let's you highlight a word and add it to a word list with a translation being pulled from Google Translate automatically. It also stores the original sentence that the word came from and the webpage URL.
I know Rikaichan already has the ability to use keyboard shortcuts to copy to clipboard... It would be nice to see it updated to copy to some internal database with the sentence it came from as well, and then be able to export to CSV later. (And of course, it'd be nice to see Rikaikun catch up.)

looks interesting but... I can't seem to install it?
Langladder - wccrawford - 2010-03-18
I didn't try actually installing it.
It said it also needed mozilla jetpack, I saw... Might try installing that first?

Automatically grabbing the context is nice, but using a google translation as the "definition" is pretty damn stupid.

So wait... does this do what I wanted in the 'save clipboard to txt' thread?? Save the exact thing you highlighted? (I could figure out how to ignore, remove, or use the rest of the info it saves later).
But I guess you can only do it in Firefox... curses!
