Same here.  Reloading the page clears the problem.  I guess that JS is used to alter the "Free Translation" button when clicked, but this is not reversed when going back.

Sites need to use the new events introduced with bfcache to fix this kind of thing. The button is disabled onclick and then never re-enabled. See http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_Firefox_1.5_caching .

This seems fixed now.
