Had to un-install. It conflicted with other Ajax features of my site. Not support so I couldn't get it fixed. Sad, its a great mod and would have been handy to have.

I need, you don't have actually much time, but it would be very great, if you can fix it.

Beside of that, the guys from the KDE Desktop Project developed an Inline Google Translation, which gives the user the opportunity to choose in which language he want to translate an entire post.
