Hello,


It seems that when my page is translated using the google translator,
I can no longer sign into my site using the same login name and
password I would use normally. Is there a reason for this, or am I
just missing something silly.

Thanks much,
E

Because you're not looking at your site using the Google translator. 
You're looking at Google's site displaying your content. When you sign in, 
the login form is being posted to Google's server, not yours, so login is 
not successful.

You can, if you make sure that the form POSTs to an absolute URL
rather than a relative one, and that the login isn't dependent on a
cookie that's based on domain.
