Prototype gadget for client side translation

[Matt Foster]

Hey Everyone,

I've put the finishing touches on a JS based gadget to handle
site translation. It uses Prototype for class structure and element
collection etc and the Google Translate API to handle the actual text
translations. It handles all of the requests async style and never
reloads the page. Nor does it destructively handle node collection,
so all of your event handlers remain intact... Check it out

Cheers,

That looks very impressive. How accurate are the translations though?
Human translation still beats machine translation.

But, even with that, a very nice example!

The actual translations are being powered by the Google Translate
API. I've only checked French and Spanish and they were quite
accurate, it might degrade in some of the edge languages.

Thanks for the support Richard, we'll see if it catches on
