Change default label text in Widget

Question

In the MS Translator widget, it defaults the text "Translate this page" to the site's original language.  I'd like to change it to another language (ie Spanish) but editing the text in the code only seems to change the a href link if the object fails to load.  Seems the only way I can change it is to change the default language of the site in the widget, but of course that'll mess up the translation.

Any idea?

Hi thaJungle,

Yes, defaulting the text “Translate this page” to the site’s original language is by design.  This is the right behavior for users, correct?  Any reason why you want to use the Spanish text for your English site?  Takako (Microsoft Translator Team) 

Answer 2

The reasoning is that 99.9% of our visitors will speak either English or Spanish.  Of course, those speaking English will need no translation, but those speaking Spanish may not understand the English "Translate this page."  It would be great to have the "Translate this page" show up in the alternative translated language.
