FYI The Translate changes also break Google API keys (the referrer is
no longer valid) and Google Friend Connect "We're sorry... This
gadget is configured incorrectly. Webmaster hint: Please ensure that
"Friend Connect Settings - Home URL" matches the URL of this site."
It would also be VERY helpful if the "view original" button actually
opened the ORIGINAL source in the iframe below instead of a translated
(and broken) version. This would also allow users to quickly see
advanced non-translatable features!!
Anyone have any hints on how I can get parameterized URLs to work (as
Iframes and links)?
