Saw your blog in the other post... http://svbillabong.blogspot.com/
Unfortunately some things, like the Friend Connect gadget, use the URL
the gadget is rendered on as part of its configuration. When you
translate your webpage using our normal proxied web translation, the
page is now rendered from our servers, so those things can't match.
I'll look into if there is something we can do with the Friend Connect
team to fix this, but it may be difficult.
Another thing you can consider, is using our Web Translator that you
can add to your page. It is available here:
http://translate.google.com/translate_tools
It uses Javascript to translate everything inline, which won't break
the things already on your page.
Best,
Josh
