From David Gileadi: the annoying Google Translate bar behavior on
browsers with other languages has been fixed, the behavior when
shrinking and growing the window size has been improved, the Reddit
button is gone, and a few styles were changed.
Could have sworn I sent this already, it just disappeared.

The Translate gadget looks broken on my machine:

(latest Firefox, default zoom)
Also, the search section looks fugly, IMO. The text&button itself is not
bad, but the dropdown is, and not just on aspect, but also
functionality. I'm surprised no else commented likewise. :(
My suggestion is to remove the drop-down altogether. Let the more
refined search scope options be available elsewhere, perhaps on the
search results page itself. Also, we should use Google Custom Search.
Just linking to raw google looks amateurish. That's because (amongst
other things) the search page shows up with all the Google personalized
homepage stuff (if you enable it for google.com). Compare:

to:

Here's an example of what I'm suggesting for the search functionality,
try it out:
http://svn.dsource.org/projects/descent/downloads/dwebpage.htm
(obviously the layout and colors are broken, I just want to demo the
functionality, especially using Google Custom Search)
An alternative is to maintain the current behavior: and have the search
page be presented on its own, instead of contained the D programming
language site:
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=016833344392370455076%3Afjy38cei55c&ie=UTF-8&q=foobar&sa=Search
However I don't know how to customize the CSS for this hosted page,
plus, when you click the scope labels, the search query changes: you get
an annoying extra "more:library_reference" keyword one it. Meh.
Yet another alternative is to put the search text&button as a section in
the navigation leftbar, and put the three search scopes as 3 radio
buttion options, each on their own line... but please, no dropdown on a
header! :S
