     Thomas, it doesn’t seem like it. Can’t see it on the status bar. I am maybe blind tho. Try it out and see if u can find it.
     Cheers

     Thanks for the nice extension.
     I would like to use it in Mozilla Prism. I already added some stuff in installer.rdf for installation, changed the overlay/style in chrome.manifest and changed <statusbar id=“status-bar”> to <statusbar id=“statusbar”> in chrome/content/switch.xul. Now I see a field in the status bar from Dictionary Switcher but without content. I think it can’t be found the dictionaries. Can you give me hint. You can contact me via email, if you need further information.
     
     Thaks

     “Detect dictionaries as I Type” causes a several second pause whenever you click on a textarea in a new page. Turned off the pause doesn’t come.
     
     This is quite bothersome.

     I have the same problem as “edA-qa” on firefox 3.5.2/ubuntu 9.4.
     When I turned it off the problem disappears

     Incompatibility between Dictionary Switcher 1.0 and Modify Headers 0.6.6 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/967 : if “Detect dictionary as I type” is on then after several hours of surfing and after that switching from X to console (under FreeBSD), Firefox (3.5.3, 3.0 too) can begin to stall and eat memory. If I do nothing then after several minutes it eats all memory and swap (SIZE over 2G):
     
     …
     kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(16): failed
     kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(9): failed
     kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(16): failed
     kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(9): failed
     kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(16): failed
     kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(9): failed
     kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(3): failed
     kernel: pid 8435 (firefox-bin), uid 1001, was killed: out of swap space
     
     If I disable one of these two extensions or switch “Detect dictionary as I type” off then no problem.
     Took me a while to understand that it’s incompatibility between extensions and find out which ones. Then for a test I disabled all extensions except these two.

     Hello! I’m using DS 1.0 with FF 3.5.4.
     
     It seems to work very well in most sites. However, it doesn’t seem to work very well in GMail.
     
     It _does_ sometimes change the language while I type, but at other times it doesn’t. I can’t figure out a complete pattern, because I don’t remember to check what it’s doing while I’m working.
     
     I’ve tried opening a “compose” page, and alternatively erasing and typing in the subject and message boxes, in various languages. Sometimes it catches language switches, sometimes it doesn’t.
     
     The only regular thing I notice is that the first time I’m opening the “compose” page, DS never picks up the language I’m typing in; instead, it always seems to remain blocked on whatever language it was on when I opened the page. I think my signature is confusing it: it’s only my name, but it’s in a user dictionary (since none of the languages I use have my name in the dictionary).
     
     The above was a bug report, the following is a feature request :)
     
     I often use more than one language in texts I write. Mostly this means using English technical terms in another language, but sometimes I mix expressions from several languages at the same time. I’d very much like it if DS would use a different marking (e.g., yellow underlining) for words (or phrases) that are not in the “main” language of the text, but that are correct according to another dictionary.
     
     The marking would draw my attention, thus allowing me to notice cases where a typo just happens to match a word in another language, but being different from the “misspelled word” it allows me to ignore it when I actually intended to use a different language.
     
     I imagine this would be a much more complex behavior change than what DS does at the moment, but it would be nice to know if it’ll ever happen.

     Seems to install into FF 3.5.5 (mozilla.org binary distribution) and fc8).

     Dictionary Switcher 1.0 - It would be nice if the padding to the Left & Right of the StatusBar wording was not so large. My other Extension all seem to be around 10px.
     
     FF3.5.5 - Mac OS 10.5.8
     Theme - Mostly Crystal 3.5.1 (modified for Mac OS)
     Other StatusBar Ext - FlagFox, FoxClocks, QuickPageZoom

     1.0 works very sporadically on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; sv-SE; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102815 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.15.
     
     Having responses to this e-mailed to johan.walles@gmail.com would be great!
     
     Try this:
     * Open GMail (Swedish UI in case that matters).
     * Start composing a new e-mail.
     * Write a sentence in Swedish in the mail-text field (I tried “Det här är kungens svenska”).
     * My status bar says: “auto: en-AU” (Swedish expected).
     * Switch to a new tab and back.
     * My status bar now says “auto: sv”. Seems correct, but why did I have to switch tabs?
     * Press an arrow key to move the cursor. The status bar changes to “auto: en_US”. Expected Swedish.
     
     Enabled options:
     “Detect dictionary as I type”
     “Ställ in språk automatiskt” (set language automatically).
     
     Disabled options:
     “Kom ihåg vald ordlista för denna webbplats” (remember selected dictionary for this web site).

     please make the icon visible in the navigation toolbar too, not just in the statusbar. Thanks!

     It would be a nice feature if the add-on would take less space in your status bar by displaying a flag for the current language it’s using. When using auto-detect it shouldn’t display it but just show the flag.

     Hello,
     
     Have you considered adding an option to use Google’s language detection API for better accuracy and performance? This obviously has drawbacks and cannot work in all situations (and might even require manually setting the preferred dictionary for each language), but I think it’ll work in the majority of cases. And when it works, it might actually work better than the current way.
     
     Problems with the current method are bad performance (occasional hangs) and very low accuracy when many dictionaries are installed. For example, while typing five relatively long sentences in Hungarian in Gmail, it started out with en-US, then kept switching back and forth between the British and the Greek-English combined dictionaries. But not once did it switch to the Hungarian one.

     When writing a new email in Czech in GMail, and after having about 2 lines written, this addon incorrectly switches to en-US which is weird because in cs_CZ, there are almost none red squiggly lines while after the switch, my text goes all red. The only options selected is “Detect dictionary as I type”, the other two are unchecked. Is this a known issue?

     Die Anzeige in der Statusleiste funktioniert im FF 3.6 bei mir nicht.
     
     Woran könnte das liegen?

     Hi, can you please add Chatzilla support for this extension ? Thx.
