Help bring the Auto Translate module out of Dev--2--Improve Translation Services

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) Research at least two translation services, which must include yahoo babelfish and at least one of the following: InterTran, Transparent, WorldLingo, and Windows Live Translator. Also research Google's TOS. Report any flags you notice about their TOS, and feasibility of integrating their service into the Auto Translate module. (Google has already been integrated, although note item 5).This part of the task will involve checking to see if the site has an api, and reading through their Terms of Service (TOS) to ensure that module is being used legally. These findings should be submitted back to the issue queue for review.
2) Make at least two translation providers functional (currently only Google translation works).
3) If the TOS warrants it, write and display a warning message about provider's TOS to be displayed on activation of the module and/or configuration of its settings, to help users not violate their rules.
4) Add logos/links to provider's TOS on the admin page and on the auto translate form element (although allow admins to disable their display on the form element).
5) Ensure that accented characters are formatted correctly with at least one translation service. Google flattens those characters. A patch has been written, but doesn't seem to work with PHP4. Test against the other providers, and test against both PHP4 and PHP5 if possible, and either report the findings, and/or optionally fix the problem of Google.

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.
