This module makes comments on your site translatable. It adds buttons to each comment for various languages. Clicking a language will translate the comment using the Google AJAX Language API. The Language API is loaded externally from Google. More information about the API can be found here: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/ [More...]

Firstly, this is an excellent module that uses the Google language API to translate comments on your website.
Secondly, at the moment it seems to work best using Firefox and similar browsers. Internet explorer (as usual) really dislikes it and causes errors on the comments pages and stops anyone writing any further comments if they are using this browser.
In firefox however, it works like a dream and is a really useful module. Its only drawback being the Google API itself which only allows a maximum of 500 characters at the moment. This means that comments which are longer than this it is unable to translate effectively.
All in all, once the explorer bug is ironed out it becomes a very useful module, especially when used in the forum environment. It would also be quite nice for future development of this module if there were instructions/possibilities on how to add buttons for other languages, and in this way it could be truly customised for your websites users.
It's also nice to see that Drupal module developers are taking time out to explore the capabilities of Googles language API. I really hope to see more modules of this nature in the future.
Great work on this upto now!

Works as advertised.
"This module will make the Upload Files Form beautiful. It doesn't work with filefield, just the upload..."
"despite a nice interface, the permissions are not copied but Duplicate Role works - http://drupal.org/project/duplicate_role "
"disappointed that Role Inheritance module doesn't work (and also breaks the Permissions page) this module..."
