Screen-Scrape Algorithms

- Listen / Stop Translated Help Text (help button)
- Listen / Stop Clipboard Translation (clipboard button)
- Listen / Stop Selection (Ctrl + F6 : drag & drop)

Updated:
- fixed an error of my own making

It seems the problem occurred when I made a blanket change to the User-Agent for all three Google apps:
- YouTube Player & Downloader
- Google Translate Service
- Geolocation: Google Maps

I should not have changed the User-Agent for Google Translate Service, but in my defense these three applications are holding on by a thread.
Google has already stated that Internet Explorer is no longer supported, and these three applications use the PureBasic WebGadget.

The obvious choice is to rewrite these three applications using Chromium WebGadget, but like everything it comes down to time.
