This is a great idea! As proposed it'd be very helpful, but maybe it'd be
better if it showed the original text and a conversion on mouse-over (maybe
with a small icon to indicate it, like external links).

Oh, please, don't use IP geolocation for anything. It's terrible for people
travelling, using proxies, living abroad, living in places where more than
one languages are commonly spoken, learning new languages… If you want to
get an initial default, use Accept-Language (like, inches for en-US and cm
for anyone else :) and allow the user to modify it.
Thanks,
Marc
