Sina Weibo For The World - A social web experiment
==================================================
This extension adds a number of features to the popular [Sina Weibo Microblogging service](http://weibo.com) [(weibo.com)](http://weibo.com) to enable non-native Chinese speakers to interact with the online Chinese community in their native language.
This extension for the Opera browser adds the following features for non-native Chinese users of Sina Weibo:
* A Google Translate bar that will translate all pages you visit at [weibo.com](http://weibo.com) in to your own native language.
* A handy translate-as-you-type feature when you click in any text box available on the site
allowing you to say something in your native language and have that posted on [weibo.com](http://weibo.com) in Chinese.
This is a work in progress social web experiment to connect disparate global voices to enable inclusive global
conversations.
