Ok, it says Google Groups in this left panel, but I guess is just a front end then. But I find it easier to search for topics like these, although I hate that it doesn't let me edit a post once I send it.
What dirty potential are you talking about? The data that google gathers?

The translate bookmarklet:

javascript:var%20t=((window.getSelection&&window.getSelection())||(document.getSelection&&document.getSelection())||(document.selection%20&&document.selection.createRange&&document.selection.createRange().text));var%20e=(document.charset||document.characterSet);if(t!=''){location.href='http://translate.google.com/translate_t?text='+t+'&hl=en&tbb=1&ie='+e;}else{location.href='http://translate.google.com/translate?u='+escape(location.href)+'&hl=en&tbb=1&ie='+e;};

...it will translate any non-english webpage into english, just put that code into a new bookmark, open the page you want to translate, click that bookmark, and presto you'll have that page in english,  with *no google login required*, don't worry :). 
It works with private browser sessions too. I hope you find it useful.

All right, I'll try your last code suggestion.
Thank you for your work so far, it already helped a lot :)
