and so I do not need you to translate it. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you? I installed you and you had some interesting tools to use, but you keep coming out with ‘This page is in Danish/Korean/Estruscan, Would you like Google Toolbar to translate?’ No. It is not. As bad as some spellings might be I cannot imagine how this kind of bug keeps popping up. Don’t make me remove you - I like the tools. Consider this your warning and remember what happened to the Yahoo Toolbar, which I am pretty sure I did not ask to have installed! ---

> [@Mr.Miskatonic](#): > > Don’t make me remove you - I like the tools. Consider this your warning and remember what happened to the Yahoo Toolbar, which I am pretty sure I did not ask to have installed! They tend to sneak them into program installers. It’s at least a way of making sure people actually start reading those things, instead of just habitually clicking next.\ I’ll check and see if there’s a way to turn off the translate feature for the bar.

Still, its good to be reminded that there is such a place as Denmark. Denmark! Where there are…Danes! ---

Maybe it thinks the Dope is made of pastry. After years of “when come back, bring pie”, it was bound to happen. ---

Well, according to Google’s Web site: Toolbar tilbyder nyttige søgeforslag, mens du skriver i søgefeltet. Selvom de fleste forslag stammer fra Google-søgninger, vil du også se forslag fra dine Google-bogmærker og din søgeoversigt. Toolbar fortæller dig det endda, hvis du har stavet et ord forkert og foreslår den korrekte stavemåde. ---

I just translated this thread to Danish with Google Translate. Interestingly the Danish version is actually quite good - except, perhaps, for “when come back, bring pie” that translates roughly to “as they are returning, placing pie”. Sounds like a line from a song. ---

I think Adobe Acrobat Reader installs the Yahoo toolbar if you don’t explicitly uncheck the checkbox during the installation. At least it used to. So shady. ---

What’s worse is that I once had a program that installed it even when I deliberately unchecked it! I sincerely hope it was just an error in the installer. ---

How does it detect pages that need translation anyway? I figured it would just read the line: \ But clearly that’s not the case. ---

I love danish, perhaps more than pie. Wouldn’t the SDMB be better with a light, moist yet flaky crust? Therefore I have no problem with this. Those Google folks are genius! ---
