New version of WP-Translate

General
I updated WP-translate. I’ve had people asking for the ability to make it display vertically or horizontally. It now has that ability.
UPDATE: I have been notified of the image path being incorrect when the blog isn’t at the root of a domain. I have fixed it so it should work with blogs in subdirectories of websites.

Hmm. Your fix for the image path didn’t appear to work for me — anywhere but on the homepage of my blog (like a post or a cat page) it was breaking, since it appends the image path to the current url. No worries, though. I’ve hardcoded my paths, as well as substituted Google’s translation for jp, ko and zh. I also nixed the Babelfish links, as they didn’t seem to be doing a very good job with non-Latin character sets.
Have you tried to make the plugin a bit smarter about whether it’s living on an already-translated page or not? I dare say it’s unfortunate that once you’re in Google’s en -> es version of the blog, for example, further clicks to wp-translate fail spectacularly, by virtue of the links becoming translated and retranslated.
Also, might you consider allowing comments on your wp-translate page? As it is, one must dig through your archives to see if there’s any valuable user feedback on the plugin.
