Balazs, Thanks, but I tried your plugin and it did not work. There is no demo for say clicking a button and converting the page; the bookmarklet is cool, but doesn't really help when I can't get the plugin to work. I emailed you so hopefully I'll hear back...
I did actually re-create your plugin, but didn't author it or add any bells and whistles, just translating an entire page and/or element... Cheers.
