Featured Firefox Extension: Automatically change your dictionary language with Dictionary Switcher

Windows/Mac/Linux (Firefox): The Dictionary Switcher Firefox extension automatically toggles your Firefox dictionary based on the site you're visiting or the language you're currently typing in.

The automatic language switching happens through both locale detection (i.e., what country the domain you're visiting is tied to) and by analyzing the text you're typing. I installed the French dictionary and gave it a try with my limited high school French and it was switching within about three or four words. This looks a killer extension for the multi-lingual crowd. Thanks Niklas!
