Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, it's not my website/page so
I have NO control over it... So, this is really about a new feature
request then...
Could you add a "refresh" parameter or something where 'refresh=yes'
or 'cache=off' is added to the query string forcing an emptying of the
cache/refresh by the script that does the translation?
Thus, requesting this link:
http://translate.google.com/translate?refresh=yes&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.falcom.co.jp%2Fmailorder%2Fspecial%2Fspecial.html&sl=ja&tl=en&history_state0=
always results in a fresh page source being translated and returned...
I was really hoping the 'history_state0' parameter might be there for
this very purpose, but I couldn't find any info on what it controls...
I noticed it's never set to any value though.
