Any ideas please

Any resolution to this? The problem is the link tags in the HTML. Default language:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="EntropiaPlanets.com - Entropia Universe information, wiki and tools RSS Feed" href="http://www.entropiaplanets.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/style00015l/main-rollup.css?d=1287515777" />  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.entropiaplanets.com/forums/vbstatus/mootools.js"></script>

I also am curious as to exactly what it would require to remove that rotating link snippet that's in /includes/vbenterprisetranslator_url_functions.php?

Thanks

I'm considering installing this and sorry if this is a stupid question, but what does this offer that Google Translate does not?

@NLP-er I am a big fan of your work here. This is brilliance. However, I am concerned about lack of updates since February before I buy the pro version. Will it work with 4.0.8?

[OldSchoolDSL]

Thank you so much. Works flawlessly on 4.0.7 and also 4.0.8 (so far on our test page)

[bposner]

where is the XML file, I don't show it in the root. Nothing to import

[bposner]

Found in the Do Not Upload Folder, which is different than I'm use to finding the XML file. Sorry. Seems to work very well. Nice mod thanks
