Details

We'll need to find another alternative for our "Translate Comments" option before the end of the year: https://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/overview.html
We don't actually use their API, we just point to their website. If they keep that one going, we'll be fine.
O hai, that's right! It is important to stress that the Translate API is not the Google Translate web site, nor the Google Translate Web element - which you can see on this page in the first column. What this means is that users will still be able to use Google to translate text that is copy and pasted into the text box; users of Google Toolbar will still be able to translate whole web pages and any website that embeds the Translate Web element will be able to offer whole page translation to its end users. http://www.i-programmer.info/news/81-web-general/2495-google-translate-api-to-close.html ** Does a dance to distract people ** Nothing to see here!
