The Auto Translate Module ( http://drupal.org/project/i18n_auto ) aims to assist with translations on Drupal sites by allowing content creators to press a button which scrapes the text area of a node, queries a third party translation service, and pastes the resulting translation which can then be edited and posted as a translation. When this module is complete it will greatly reduce the amount of time needed to translate a site, making it much easier to maintain multi-lingual content-heavy Drupal sites. However, the module is still in a development release, and needs a few significant improvements to bring it to the level of a full release.

To complete this task the student must complete the following:

1) Add a checkbox on Node Type Administration screens. Ensure that if this is checked, then all text areas of that node type will have an attached Translate Buttonset, and that if it is not checked, they won't (although that may be overridden with a later task).
2) Ensure that attached Translate Buttonsets appear directly below their associated text areas.
3) Add an "on/off" link below each text area, visible only to administrators, that will attach a Translate Buttonset to that text area (assuming the editor has the proper privilege). This will override the first task, which simply turns on all text areas for a node type.

Deliverables:
This task will be considered complete when a single patch against the 5.x-1.x-dev version of the module is submitted and has been marked as RTBC.
