Mini Mods - Quick "Translate This Page" Link

This modification adds a drop down box in the lower right corner of each page directly under the Forum Jump Box that is currently there. When a user selects an option from this box, they'll be forwarded on to a Google translation of the page at hand.

Please note that when viewing the translated version of this page, the user will not be logged in.

In the forumjump template, look for:

<br /><br />

and

</div>

Place the following code between the two entires:

 
<strong>Translate This Page<br />

I'd put it in right above the </div> and after the form end. You might need to plop a line break or two in there for it to look right.
