Remove var Translator = new Translate... from every page

You must remove this JS because it's bad for SEO it's bad for mobile and it's bad for users that use 3G modems. I undestand that this code need for translations in JavaScript, but you can get it using AJAX! During page loading just send AJAX request to some controller that will return translations in JSON format.
It will also decrease time of page loading.

And it's useful you may check this thread http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/9307/ .

This would best be handled by merging it with the other JS files into the main merged JS file so it can be cached in the browser and not require an Ajax request. Also using Ajax would complicate using the Translator because you'd have to wait until it was loaded.

Yes you are right, your suggestion is better. But also with AJAX you must not wait response. Because all translation for JS in general is used for form validation. And all translations can be fetched before user make some actions

Hi, stalniy,

thank you for the proposal. We already have people working on this topic.

The translations will be moved from page source to an automatically pre-composed static Javascript file, thus they won't affect SEO in any way. And the file will be cached by the user's browser, thus it won't consume network traffic upon each request.

Closing the issue.
