Hi Richard,
  As you probably know, the way this works is your install a script in
your local browser.  Your communication back and forth with
facebook.com is unchanged - from their perspective you're using the
site in English and in the usual way, like everyone else.  The
translation are "overlayed" once each page is loaded.

I haven't - this works pretty well and has the advantage of running
entirely on the client side.
