I don't think this is a good idea: there are far too many external links, it's almost impossible to understand what they are for, and lots of them will never be used. All we need is a number of links to translate the current (English!) page into some other language. Besides, I don't think you checked your CSS in Internet Explorer (see File:Google translation link.jpg) - Erik Baas 20:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Over-complication
I've just reverted SomeHuman's latest edit to this template, having previously asked him not to add excessive, convoluted mark-up to the wiki. The addition of title="" attributes to provide roll-over text of languages' full name is useful, but I'm not prepared to unpick all the surrounding pointless HTML. Furthermore, since I'm fed up of un-picking SomeHuman's continuing barrage of not entirely helpful edits, I've blocked him for a week until he either accepts the formatting and operational structure of this wiki or gets in touch by conventional means to discuss better ways of working. I'm busy and there aren't enough active editors on this wiki to handle this issue collectively. – Nsayers 00:39, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
