One other suggestion, if you control the pages your'e linking to, and
you don't want translated, you can follow the instructions here:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/faq_translation.html#donttrans
adding
<meta name="google" value="notranslate">
to those pages, and Google won't translate them.
Cheers,
Josh
