Last December Google shut down the Google Translate API v1 dialect-http uses (see http://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/v1/getting_started.html). The "autotranslate" button therefore stopped working.

The new API is available as a paid service only (see http://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/v2/getting_started.html).

So dialect-http should pick and implement one of these options:

1) implement Google's new API and and enable the button only if we have an API key in the configuration
2) implement some other API, possibly a free one?
3) remove the button entirely
