I am not sure that would be such a good idea! I'm thinking it would be nice, to be able to read messages typed in russin, or espranto. greek, or even german in English or vs a versa' however google would detract fron the purpose of FUDforum, to my way of thinking as standalone as possible!
detract from FUDforums all in one format. Is there perhaps a GPL program which could be incorporated some how, if needed? Sort of like the youtube plugins?

Maybe that's a good way to go. I figured doing the translation would be a lot more work than simply forming a URL and displaying it. So let's rephrase this as "it would be nice to have a link to click that would translate the text of a message from one language to another". We'll leave the implementation details to the designers.
Currently, I copy the text, go to translate.google.com, paste the text in, and click the button. I'm sure there are ways to automate that if a designer felt so inclined

You know far more than I about the program and it's capabilitiesm but it strikes me that this would be a better option for agreat idea.

I think you highly over-estimate my knowledge of fudforum. I have barely scratched the surface of understanding it's internals.
