An 
Production
I first saw something like this during the introduction of Google’s wave, and was wondering the concept would make it to my blog.
Thanks to you guys, that’s today!
I do not understand why I had to search so long to get it confirmed that it is only working in english.

Ya, it was the various announcement posts “This feature is English-only for now (give us a little time) …”
Bums me out that the plugin seems to only work in “visual” mode, and not the straight html mode. Some of us don’t use visual mode. Wonder if there’s any chance it will get modified to work there?
Also, wondering if it will be updated to work for WordPress MU. Just installed it as a regular plugin on one of my MU setups but even in visual mode it was preventing the content in the edit box from showing.
Double bummer!
Also noticed that it does not work in HTML view. I agree that they need to find a fix for this since a lot of us have disabled the visual editor for various reasons.
Otherwise it’s an awesome feature!
Yes this is a great feature. They do have similar features for french as well but it would be cool to start something for Japanese or Chinese as well. I definitely would get involved in helping.
