Not to hijack your thread, but I've been using this code for years (in my footer)
Works with all your templates, I can't figure out how to intergrate it into the header like the about mod

<div align="center">
Translate this page:<br />

<form action="http://translate.google.com/translate" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="u" value="$vboptions[bburl]$translationurl" />
<select name="langpair" onchange="this.form.submit();">
<option value="en|de">English to German</option>
<option value="en|es">English to Spanish</option>
<option value="en|fr">English to French</option>
<option value="en|it">English to Italian</option>
<option value="en|pt">English to Portuguese</option>
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="hl" value="en" />
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />
<input type="hidden" name="oe" value="UTF-8" />
<input type="hidden" name="safe" value="active" />
<input type="hidden" name="prev" value="/language_tools" />
<input type="submit" value="Translate" />
</form>
</div>
