Internet Explorer 8, 9 Window.open Issue

when opening the code blow in IE 8 and 9 it opens only the http://translate.google.com/ without the languages codes and the sentences. it works fine in Chrome and Firefox. function

Solution 1:

IE exhibits this behaviour only when used on localhost. With a remote webserver, it functions correctly, and includes the hash when executing window.open(url...#...).

Solution 2:

I have created a jsFiddle that works with your provided code, with a small change. I included the use of encodeURIComponent() on the sentence to ensure your URL is formed correctly.
