Boy, I've got so many problems with Google Translate right now, I
don't even know where to begin.

First of all, I added a menu to my page to allow people to translate
it. The code itself consists of several anchor tags in a row with divs
inside. After my page gets translated, google translate completely
removed my anchor tags, but left the divs intact. This was curious and
when I altered my HTML to put the anchor tags (otherwise completely
unchanged) in an unordered list, google translate left my tags intact.
So something's not kosher there.

But I thought that might fix my problem, but it just led to a chaining
problem. To be "helpful", google translate updates all the anchor
references to send you through google translate. Well, this is great,
except for the anchors I've already set to translate my page. These
also get "fixed". But then, of course, they become useless, because
google translate won't translate a google translate link. Which
wouldn't work right anyway, because the link has already been
translated.... So the original won't be in English anymore, but
whatever language it was translated to the first time.

There's a simple fix for ALL of my headaches... According to:
http://translate.google.com/support/?hl=en

"If you don't mind your web page being translated by Google Translate,
except for a particular section (like an email address, for example),
just add class=notranslate to any HTML element to prevent that element
from being translated. For example: Email us at <span
class="notranslate"> sales at example dot com"

That's brilliant. Just what I need. Only one small problem. If you put
the notranslate class ANYWHERE on your page, google translate refuses
to translate ANY of the page.

I'm stumped.
