Comment:

 I'm still learning how to use the Chrome developer tools, so I'm not
 supremely confident about what I'm seeing yet.  However, here's what I see
 in the "Network" tab (after having right-clicked in Console and enabled
 "Log XMLHTTPRequests"

 It seems that Chrome starts with a to POST to
 http://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/t?anno=3&client=te_lib&format=html&v=1.0&logld=v7
 , but the next line in the logs is a GET to
 https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/t?anno=3&client=te_lib&format=html&v=1.0&logld=v7
 .  There is a postData payload for the POST that is of course missing in
 the GET.

 I would be okay disabling the translate.google.com rewrite rules in order
 to push a beta release out the door, if I didn't have this niggling fear
 that we might be rewriting all POSTS to GETs.  We should rule that
 possibility out, which means finding a nice clean test case on some other
 site we can look at.
