Google Translate Bookmarklet for Firefox

I was just messing around on my personalized Google news page which contains items in both English and Japanese, and it occurred to me that it would be really nice to have google’s machine translation available at the click of a button for Japanese news stories I was viewing.  I knocked together a bookmarklet really quick, just drag this link: [ J»E ] into your Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox and then click the bookmarklet from any Japanese webpage to get google’s attempt at translating it to English.
