Has anyone used this one? How is it?
Did Google ever commit to releasing the translation pairs? If so, we should certainly ask Microsoft for the same.

Hello David,
See my experiences in http://zikoblog.wordpress.com/
I do not recall exactly how the GoogleTK worked, but it is more or less the same.
Kind regards Ziko

I'm trying to make it work as a gadget. It's quite confusing and difficult. It did motivate me to create a global login as supposedly you have to create an account on any Wikipedia you want to use it on and add it to your skin's .js file. It might work on Internet Explorer easily, but it is troublesome with a Mac. It doesn't seem to display at all on the German Wikipedia, but I'm pretty sure that's just my clumsiness.
It is a Beta version, perhaps if I were patient, and had time, and gave the Microsoft developers some feedback we could get it working.
It could be added as a Mediawiki extension. Not sure if anyone is thinking about that.

They've committed code for an extension:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/WikiBhasha/
I haven't tested it, but it's basically a PHP wrapper for the same JavaScript code.
