Thanks for pointing this again, I will have to have a look at it.
However, it does not play any role in this discussion, because DocBook documents do not produce any class "translatelink". This is a class I use on my headers, which in turn are added to the HTML document afterwards.
Thus, if we were to use my CSS for the LDP documents, we could safely either leave intact or delete the formatting instructions of the "translatelink" class, as they would not be applied to any parts of the documents.
...unless we decide that it is nice to add such a header with links to automatic translators of the current page, in which case the "translatelink" class *will* become relevant.
Such a move, however, involves changes in the scripts of the production chain and we will have to ask Greg if he is willing to do it.
In any case, the way this can be done is described in

You do this with the htmlsplit.awk script:

It splits the documents in header, body and footer, then we are able to insert dynamically customized pieces, like the translation bar in the top and the bottom (there is one in the bottom too, from AltaVista, did you notice that one? ;-) ). These are the part1, part2 and part3 document pieces as described in the above links:

Feel free to use and comment on these procedures.
