I didn't see any of the glitchiness or google-translate stuff that
other people saw (on IE7, FF2, or Iron). Although, from the
screenshot someone else posted of the translate-bar, I'm glad it's
not showing up for me. (I really wish people would stop loading up
their pages with Google's crap.)
I like the translate widget! I've always been enamored with the idea
of a universal translator.
There are browser plugins and websites that can handle translation of
*any* page, not just pages that the page author has manually embedded
it into. And they do it without gunking up the page with unnecessary
JS bloat that not everyone's going to need.
I understand your point, I just like to have it right there, and not
have to go get toolbars and plugins for every browser I use. Also,
nobody ever complained about it before - why now is it suddenly an issue?
People don't need plugins to translate a page. All they need do is
navigate to translate.google.com, enter the URL in a box, select a
language, and click a button. My logs show that visitors to my blogs
(including The One With D) do that frequently without any prompting from me.
Anyway, if you're going to keep the box it might be a good idea to
relocate it. I suggest the bottom of the menu. That way it won't
interfere with any text when it expands. Either that, or give it a div
with a fixed height large enough to hold it when it's expanded.
