I really like the highlighting feature. But, it appears there are a few that don't like it.
I still wish that I could change the page orientation to vertical. So, these two issues got me thinking. What if there was a "Translate Settings" just like Google.com has "Search Settings" and Gmail has a Settings, and so forth. I'm sure there are many useful options that could come from a Translate Settings page. And, maybe we could see Labs for Translate! :D What do you guys think?
