More new features for the Gadget Dashboard

Did you apperceive we are continuously abacus new appearance to the iGoogle Apparatus Dashboard? Today I'd like to let you apperceive about a few of them.

First of all, we added two new abstracts sets to the abstracts page of your gadgets. Now you can see automatic graphs in the 'Installations and Removal' tab, which shows the amount of apparatus installations and apparatus removals, and in the 'Browser Errors'  tab, area you can see errors afresh appear by our end users' browsers.

As you may accept guessed, abacus this advice fabricated the apparatus abstracts page too long, so we alien a collapsed appearance for that page.

(“Browser Errors” table showing the top errors reported by our users’ browsers)

Additionally, the dashboard had been only available in English, but we added 7 other langueges a while ago, so it is now available in 8 languages: English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. The localized iGoogle developer documentation will lead you to the localized dashboard. For example, after you select Japanese at http://code.google.com/apis/igoogle/, you will arrive at http://code.google.com/intl/ja/apis/igoogle/, which has a link for the Japanese version of the dashboard. Alternatively, you can explicitly add the URL parameter “?hl=ja” to the dashboard URL.

Lastly, in the next few days, we will start sending you weekly summary e-mails of your gadget usage. If you don’t want to receive these summary e-mails, you can opt-out from this service by just clicking a link at the bottom of the e-mail. The e-mails look like the following.
