I have been trying to get this working but only seem to be able to get the root of the domain and not UBB itself. Any ideas on how to incorporate this? I have flags so would like to release this as a modification.

Code
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td><div align="center"><a href="http://www.YourDomain.com/"><img src="/images/languages/english.gif" ALT="English" border="0"></a></div></td>
    <td><div align="center"><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://www.YourDomain.com/&langpair=en&hl=fr"><img src="/images/languages/french.gif" ALT="French"  border="0"></a></div></td>
    <td><div align="center"><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://www.YourDomain.com/&langpair=en&hl=es"><img src="/images/languages/spanish.gif"  ALT="Spanish"  border="0"></a></div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><div align="center"><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://www.YourDomain.com/&langpair=en&hl=de"><img src="/images/languages/german.gif"  ALT="German"  border="0"></a></div></td>
    <td><div align="center"><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://www.YourDomain.com/&langpair=en&hl=it"><img src="/images/languages/italian.gif"  ALT="Italian" border="0"></a></div></td>
    <td><div align="center"><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://www.YourDomain.com/&langpair=en|pt"><img src="/images/languages/portuguese.gif"  ALT="Portuguese" border="0"></a></div></td>
  </tr>

Will do it without any modifications to the actual code.
Requires the user to have javascript enable though

Neat... How would I get this say to appear just above the login/profile, search, forum home, etc box? I would want text "Translations by Google" and the flags just under that.

I am pretty sure it is in public_common.pl Just no idea how to make it appear.
