As you may know, IKEA's Kitchen and other planners are currently
Windows-only. But not for much longer - they are piloting a new
web-based system. It's not widely available yet, but here's how to use
it (Safari - other browsers may be a little different):

1. Go to IKEA's Danish site

<http://kitchenplanner.ikea.com/DK/UI/Pages/VPUI.htm?Lang=en-GB>

2. Install the plugin

Hit Install Player; it downloads a DMG.

Open the DMG, drag the NP2020Player.plugin file to Internet Plug-Ins.

Restart the browser.

(The planner uses the 20-20 3D Viewer plugin - NP2020Player.plugin -
from <http://www.2020technologies.com/>.)

3. Fire up the planner

Go back to:

<http://kitchenplanner.ikea.com/DK/UI/Pages/VPUI.htm?Lang=en-GB>

Login or register (if you have a UK IKEA login, it won't work - you'll
need a Danish one) if you plan to save anything.

Hit Start.

4. Plan


That's it. It seems to work really well, the printed output is good, no
crashes or obvious bugs so far.

I should have added - it helps if you know a little of one of the
Scandinavian languages, but if not then German, Latin and English
between them cover quite a lot of Danish.

Conveniently, German and Latin are the two foreign languages I, erm, got
a D in at O level... I did a bit better at English, though.

Hweever, Globefish and Babelfish Instant Translation are a pair of
translation extensions for Firefox which are dead handy:

<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=fish&cat=all&advanced
search=1&as=1&appid=1&lver=3.5&atype=0&pp=20&pid=3&sort=&lup=>

Globefish uses Google translate; Babelfish Instant Translation uses -
wait for it - Babelfish.

<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13897> ought to be a
dead good translation engine, except that it seems to be rather buggy
here (Firefox 3.5.6, MacOS X 10.6.2, 3.06GHz C2D Intel iMac) - to the
extent that I got rid, 'cos it was awful to have it loaded even if
deactivated (yeah, that sort of buggy). I informed the developers, who
showed some interest.
