installed successfully, but not working. It doesn't do anything.

whenever I choose to translate a page (eg: English to Korean) it just goes to the forum index page.

It might is a style problem. Place the code on a different location of your footer template e.g. at the beginning or end.

hmm. I tried different areas...

but I got weird effects.

--I got massive set of broken characters, all asian translations (althought I know I have the correct character sets install on my computer)...
--and it me LOGGED OUT when it translated.

also suggestion:
--need a way to "go back to default" or whatever. the only way it seems to get back to "normal" is actually close and reopen the browser.

Yes, I noticed that asian characters don't show correctly in the output of babelfish. I will look if I find a way to fix it. Well just can do it, if it isnt a bug of babelfish

This I already answered earlier: You just can see the translated page as a guest because the result shows up on the altavista page.

Will figure something out to make this possible.
