Slow documentation solution??

[Charles Hixson]

The line
<script 
src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/translatemypage.xml 
&up_source_language=en&w=160&h=60&title=&border=&output=js"></script>

in most of the documentation files appears to be slowing loading, and 
not doing anything useful.  With it in the files, even using local files 
  looking up anything is painfully slow.  When removed things appear to 
speed up and nothing seems to be lost.

What is it's function?  Does removing it cause any problems (that I just 
haven't noticed yet)?
