Cool plugin. Would be great if the definition would load in the bubble instead of an entirely new window.

That's really nice, but double-clicking a word is not obvious. Would it be possible to show the translate icon after you hover the cursor over a word for a few seconds?

&#62;var appName = "wordsmith";<p>&#62;$.fn[appName] = function(options) {...}<p>I haven't read many jQuery plugins, is setting off the function name in a variable a common thing to do?

Selecting multiple words returns Internal Server Error.

Pretty cool, but I don't like the massive branding everywhere in the definition window.

very cool plugin. I'd like the definition to show up in a tooltip or something by default though. opening up a new window is a bit annoying.
