It’s still rough around the edges and the code needs to be optimized heavily (also you can’t run multiple instances of the Google Translate module on the same page, although I don’t know why you would need to), but it’s basically done.
If you’re a Google Personalized Homepage user (like you should be), the way to use the module is simple. Go to your personalized homepage, and click the “Add Content” link at the top-left of the page. On the bar that expands out, look down for “Add your own content.” Click it, and it’ll give you a text field to enter the address to an RSS feed or a module. Type in: http://base.google.com/base/items?oid=2965185083363856584 and hit “Go.” The Google Translate module should appear on your personalized homepage now. Feel free to leave comments, suggestions, and so forth, but remember it’s not refined; I only had a few minutes to work on this thing yesterday, and there are a lot of optimizations that could take place to make it work better all around. Enjoy!
That’s awesome Jona. Hopefully it gets taken to the next level with the Google Guys. You amaze me sometimes.
