This script is intended for use only on ProjectEuler.net and it was build to be used together with Firefox's GreaseMonkey extension.
It places 5 flags (British, Romanian, Russian, Korean and German) on top of every problem's page. By clicking on the flag, the corresponding translation of a problem is retrieved.
Obviously, not at all problems are available in the above mentioned languages. In this case, clicking on the flag will do nothing.
Notes about implementation:
- The technique used for implementing this is JSONP (JSON with padding), since AJAX wouldn't work (see Same Origin Policy).
- The processing function (only 2 - 3 lines of code) is found in the processtranslation.js file. That function will be executed when the response comes back.
- The 5 flag images are stored inside the script in Base64 format, to avoid additional HTTP requests.
LIMITATIONS:
- does not work on HTTPS version of ProjectEuler (Firefox 23+), unless you disable Mixed Active Content blocker
- for some unknown reason, it needs at least Firefox 9+ to work.
The translations are parsed from the corresponding translations websites:
- http://projecteuler.radumurzea.net/ for Romanian
- http://euler.jakumo.org/ for Russian,
- http://euler.synap.co.kr/ for Korean and
- http://projekteuler.de for German
