Answer 1

Could be any number of things I would have thought.

Could be that Google changes the DOM on the page that break the way your script interacts with it. Are there any JavaScript errors on the page?

Answer 2

I think it's because when you use Google Translate, you're actually getting the page from Google's domain not your own. Your page then tries to make an AJAX request to your domain, which is now cross-domain, therefore blocked for security.
