Hi, I live in China so I was just showing my GF (Chinese) the translate option. I was thinking I could use it for some of my Chinese clients. Anyway, It makes a big mess of your menu. The fossil tooth image displays 4x bigger than it should. Also there are bubbles appearing all over the page (Google asking for people to contribute to better translations). It also does not translate back to English and refreshing the page leaves it as it was (in Chinese). I'm a bit sad because I use Google translate quite a lot and was hoping that the 'gadget' could be really useful. Your pixelated tooth fossils might be fixed by using anti-aliasing when you save the image. I like the menu background, the logo and the banner, the fixed position talking shark rocks too. I'm not so keen that the menu turns the text white (nearly invisible) on hover.
