While doing that cool hacker puzzle I tried GTranslate for Nine in German.
Here is what I saw. http://aycu19.webshots.com/image/32938/2004312373824376600_rs.jpg

3 Things. Nine in German is neun or something, not 09. Also was ther always a dictionary and so on?

JIC the url's are:
http://www.google.com/translate_dict?hl=en for dictionary
http://www.google.com/translate_s?hl=en for translated search

also an ad I saw on Google was this http://aycu07.webshots.com/image/32966/2004353036495444685_rs.jpg

Does the link on the first pic in the top right refer to this?

Where do I get my cookie PREFID if it's important? I'm using Google experimantal

The dictionary was added in June:

The translations issues are caused by Google's new (in my view, worse) translation thingy:

Oh, and the ad:

Google still advertises that "They've just acquired Deja News and its now called Google Groups".

They apparently don't bother disabling any ad campaigns.
