Added A Google Translate Widget to my Movable Type Blog

This weekend I added a custom Google Translate widget to my blog.  Even though I'm an extremely patriotic American, I still appreciate the rest of the world and the many languages it speaks.  As a result, I've tried to make it somewhat convenient for foreign visitors to translate my blog into their native language.  I implemented the functionality of the translate widget in JavaScript; using jQuery of course.  You can find the full JavaScript here.  But, here are the important pieces (the functions) that you might care about if you're trying to implement your own Google Translate widget:

var gT = "http://translate.google.com/translate?u=%u&sl=en&tl=%tl";

function isKolichDotCom(){
  return window.location.href.indexOf("http://mark.koli.ch") == 0;
}

function setupTranslate(){
  $("p.translateflag").click(function(e){
    var href = encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
    var tl = $(this).attr("tl");
    gT = gT.replace("%u",href);
    gT = gT.replace("%tl",tl);
    window.top.location.href = gT;
  });
}

$(document).ready(function(){
  if(isKolichDotCom()){    
    setupTranslate();
  }
});

I'd love to turn this post into a HOWTO and explain more about how everything works, but I need to take care of some other things around the house.  Plus, my right wrist is recovering from a brutal week @work, so I need to keep computer use to a minimum right now (carpal tunnel).  Enjoy.
