In reply to Kamlesh. Good question! I never did try this outside of development as it was a bit clunky. I would recommend trying the normal Google inline translator code.

Is the above solution still working?

In reply to Chris. I didn't write the plugin, the author says he will transfer it over to the Microsoft API, so keep an eye on the translator plugin site for updates.

In reply to PAJ. That´s really bad. All of your work is for nothing. I think i am looking for another Hack to Translate on the fly Magentopages because December is in 6 Months not in 2 Years. Are you working for a Hack with the Microsoft Plugin in the Future ?

In reply to Chris.

Great! Google officially deprecated the API the same day that I made this blog post!

http://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/overview.html

Google want you to use their translator element for website translations due to too much abuse of the API. Updated the blog post with details of the planned changes to the Microsoft API, doesn’t sound as bad as I first thought…

Will leave it up to you if you want to keep using the plugin.

Have you read this on the jquery Translater Page: Since the Google Translate API will be shut off completely on December 1, 2011 this plugin will use the Microsoft Translator service: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff512404.aspx ? It seems that the Google Plugin is running out. Is the Microsoftplugin a Solution for the Carttranslationerror ? If the Google Service is down in December all searching for Bugs is for nothing or is this the right Time to change to the Microsoftplugin ?

In reply to Chris. We need JQuery noConflict() because Magento relies heavily on the prototype javascript library which also uses the $ reference for functions, noConflict lets jQuery work with other libraries in this way without conflict. You can see on the checkout page there is some existing prototype scripts (search for $ in the source and you will see them) however these are obviously working as the cart page is working ok, so its not a conflict problem between jQuery and Prototype, and our jQuery functions are working because the drop down selector still works which uses jQuery. So that narrows it down to the translator plugin, will have a look at that to see if there are any updates.

I don´t know, but is this 1.6.1 Problem not translating in the Cart perhaps a Problem with NoConflict ? This was the reason for another Problem with my two Boxes on Home for a while. I change in one Code the jQuery to noconflict and the two Boxes working togehter. I think we must search what is different from 1.5.2 to 1.6.1. and which function uses the Cart. I have updated the Scriptaculus Files to the actual Version but this does not solve the Problem.

I hope you find the Problem because your Script is very usefull.
