Hi guys, We've been able to reproduce this bug and we are aware of the problem.
The issue is, the Translate Element, which these sites have embedded on their sites, stores its state in your Google cookie. But unfortunately if you do not already have a Google cookie, it is not able to issue you one. We're working on fixing it, but it's unfortunately not as easy as you might expect. As a workaround, if you visit www.google.com before clicking the button to disable the element for a particular language, it should issue you a cookie, and when you click the button the setting should stick. Sorry for the inconvenience. Best, Josh Estelle Senior Software Engineer Google Translate On Dec 18 2010, 7:08 am, Sébastian wrote: > Or isohunt.com...
