Quickly translate English to/from Japanese via Quicksilver

Nice hint: not just for this particular resource, but for adding search items to QS's catalog in general. A couple of things that should be pointed out...

1) The hint presumes that you have Quicksilver indexing your bookmarks. If you don't, you'll want to add your bookmarks to QS's catalog first. Alternately, there's another way if you don't want to index all your bookmarks: Create a custom Web Search List in your catalog and add those urls as items within it, giving them distinctive names as the hint author suggests. Then reindex.

2) Maybe this is obvious, but the triple-asterisk (***) at the end of the URLs is the string that Quicksilver uses as the substitution for the search term. Other launchers and search tools may do it differently (I've seen %s used by at least one). You'll want to replace the triple-asterisk with whatever the substitution string is in the tool you use.
