Changes:
- Added referrer header for Google translation queries
- Corrected bug for returning to forum main page from translated page
Also according to actual Google conditions your "Powered by Google" information should have Google logo. So please change text for flags in your vBET configuration to something like this:

Automatic Translations (Powered by <span style="vertical-align:sub;"><img src="http://www.google.com/uds/css/small-logo.png" alt="Powered by Google" border="0"/></span>):

You can customize it but "Powered by Google" should stay.

- Translate Google Maps (configurable)
- Little optimizations (i.e. included only necessary things for not translated pages)
- Supports several cache cleaning strategies (optimization for really big forums) and automatically disables cache for cleaning time to avoid read/write conflicts
2.2.1 Small bug fixed with returning to default language for main page and SEO links (happens only for specific vbSEO configuration, so you don't need to update if 2.2.0 is working for you)
2.2.0 Translation tracking is working even when redirection by some mod occures (configurable reaction time)

- Redirect to user language functionality - configurable (disabled, forced, after asking user does he want to be redirected).

As I wrote in param description I wil gladly take notices about all native areas from vB where usernames are shown. I know that I didn't cover all yet - I don't even know all So PM me please all places wich you found (best as link - I'm not using every possible finctionality of vB so link will be helpfull - can be relative I will add my own domain).

About other mods which are displaying usernames. They simply have to display username inside not translated area (so just have to add comments before and after username). You can ask authors to do this in next release you can also find it yourself - but this 2nd option can be a little hardcore if you are not programmer and also will be lost during upgrade of changed mod. I cannot include in release things nit related with main vB, because those could have strange behaviour if some mod is not installed, and mostly - I'm not able to support all mods which displays usernames For mods authors it is easy to include not translated area because it is comment and even if someone don't use my mod it is harnless (just few letters more in output - as comment so not visible )

Great thanks for note I see it is working only in navbar. I will glagly help you, but for this I need access to FTP and Admin CP. I'm using vbSEO so cannot reproduce this on my own forum. Also I will have to install you 2.0.0 which is not released yet but works perfect with old links type. So if it is ok for you - PM me access data. If you don't like idea of sharing access - you can still set test forum for me which doesn't use vbSEO.

Hey!

Where do you set this HTML?

Edit: OH! You mean for the www.site.com/forum issue? Not the t2x_vbseo.php www.site.com/es/ (for spanish) issue...

Sorry, I am confused by your message!
