Firefox Extension - Multi-Language URLs (multilang)

This extension was developed to solved an annoying problem familiar
to those of us having an additional keyboard layout on their PCs (e.g., Hebrew, Russian, Greek, French etc.).

Quite often, people type a URL in the address box without noticing that their active keyboard layout was left on a non-English mode, making their URL useless and forcing them to type it again.

This extension identifies such situations and automatically converts the URL to its intended value as if typed in English.

Since the conversion process is based on 2 character vectors stored in the Firefox preferences, users may define their own vectors and extend multilang to support any additional languages (unicode vectors can be defined from a menu item on the Tools menu).

The extension may be disabled (again, from the Tools menu) preventing the conversion process from altering URLs.
