It looks like the `<` and `>` characters at the bottom of the page are causing 
this issue. Though I'm not yet sure why.

The same issue was reported here: 
http://code.google.com/p/jquery-translate/issues/detail?id=52
The problem is in the regexes in $.translate.trunctate function, which has to 
parse some HTML too if one's using $("body").translate(). And AFAIK that's just 
can't be done properly with regexes, though my code could be improved for sure.

But since you are using .translateTextNodes(), it doesn't have to deal with 
html, so the following patch should make it work properly:

$.translate.truncate = function(text, limit){
        var i, m1, m2, m3, m4, t, encoded = encodeURIComponent( text );

        for(i = 0; i < 10; i++){
            try { 
                t = decodeURIComponent( encoded.substr(0, limit - i) );
            } catch(e){ continue; }
            if(t) break;
        }

        return  ( !( m1 = null && /<(?![^<]*>)/.exec(t) ) ) ? (  //if no broken tag present
            ( !( m2 = null && />\s*$/.exec(t) ) ) ? (  //if doesn't end with '>'
                ( m3 = this._m3.exec(t) ) ? (  //if broken sentence present
                    ( m4 = null && />(?![^>]*<)/.exec(t) ) ? ( 
                        m3.index > m4.index ? t.substring(0, m3.index+1) : t.substring(0, m4.index+1)
                    ) : t.substring(0, m3.index+1) ) : t ) : t ) : t.substring(0, m1.index);

    }

I looked at your page and it looks like it really can't be solved that easily.
