[Discourse Translator](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-translator/32630) give us the possibility to translate messages and posts on-the-go and that’s awesome for multilingual communities!

I think that usage of the plugin could be really improved with a minor UX adjustment.

> _The icon on the bottom of posts probably don’t make sense → if someone wants to translate, he/she just want to read all the post in their language and not scroll down words that don’t understand_ 🙂

The button could be positioned here, next to date:

And removed from the bottom:
