the red translate button. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I can get the instant translate. But it's almost illegible. I want the "latest technology" translation that takes a minute or two. I think I'm following the directions:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've tried a bunch of different things, but I can't get a "red patent translate button" (I'd be content with blue too. Blue is my favorite color.) I can get the "red patent translate button" for the front page bibliographic data, but
when I click on "Description" or "Original document" the "red patent translate button" disappears. How do I get to a "patent translate button" (of any color) for the "Description?"<o:p></o:p></p>
