[...] Yesterday Global Translator 0.6-beta was released, and I was interested to know how it would run. This version comes with support for both Google Translator and BabelFish, and will permit pages to be cached for faster loading. The only downside to this version was it’s inability to play nice with Omry Yadan’s FireStats. But since I really enjoy both of these plugins, I thought that I would make the effort and find a way to make these work together like I had for version 0.4.1. [...]

Done.

Before using this file, please make sure that your site has the “WordPress should compress articles (gzip) if browsers ask for them)” checkbox cleared. This can be found in the Options menu, under Reading, down at the very bottom. Several users have reported that after this is cleared out, Global Stats will work without fail on their site.

Actually could you post that fix, pls? I don’t run FireStats but I did run into the white page issue. (I do run BAStats so maybe that’s causing it.) When I made the edits posted I got the same error martin got. If not, could you email that fix to me as well? Thankee.

Done and done.
I don’t think anything should be changed in FireStats, as this issue seems to only crop up with the Global Translator. That plugin’s use of $_SERVER[PHP_SELF] seems to be the problem.
That said, hopefully my quick fix will let people enjoy both plugins.

Thanks,
