To be absolutely clear: this happens when you install
http://translate.google.com/translate_tools and the language of your
page is (detected) different as that of your browser. This is a faulty
logic though as I speak and read many different languages despite the
fact that I have an English-language browser / OS installed.
I turned off translation altogether from Google Toobar but this code
still manages to produce a very annoying blue dropdown bar that moves
all my pages downwards.
This dropdown toolbar should NOT be automatic for people who install
the code from http://translate.google.com/translate_tools -- the code
provides a dropdown of languages, so why does the blue translation bar
appear in addition to that?
