JS bookmarklet to open sites in Google Translate












0















I want to make a JavaScript bookmarklet that will open a page inside of google translate. So if I click an element or href, it will open it in google translate. It could also be disabled by clicking the bookmarklet again.



I have written something that I think should work, it would give every "a" element (not sure if it would work with other links) an event_listener which would on click stop the default execution of the link, and store the href into a variable so I can implement it into the opening of Google Translate, then later remove that event_listener(haven't done that yet).
The problem is that it alerts (which is just to test that I got the link) every single link, but it comes out as undefined.



javascript: 
var A = document.getElementsByTagName('A');
var link = null
for(var i=0;i<A.length;i++){
A[i].addEventListener("click", getLink(i));
A[i].addEventListener("click", stopDirect());
}
function stopDirect() {
event.preventDefault();
}
function getLink(e) {
link = e.href;
alert (link);
}


This is the code to open a link in Google Translate



window.open("https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&tl=en&u=" + thaturl+ "&anno=2");

          Maybe you can try this one.



          <a href="javascript:;" onclick="redirect('your_url_here')">Click Me!</a>

          <script>
          function redirect(url) {
          window.open(url, "_blank")
          }
          </script>

            if (event.target.tagName === "A" && event.shiftKey) {
