in most of the documentation files appears to be slowing loading, and not doing anything useful.  With it in the files, even using local files  looking up anything is painfully slow.  When removed things appear to speed up and nothing seems to be lost.

What is it's function?  Does removing it cause any problems (that I just haven't noticed yet)?

It's for Google's translation tool.

I have the same problem and set Firefox to "Work Offline" under the File menu so that I don't lose time. I agree with you that it must be removed from the locally installed pages. Please enter a bug at

On a related note, I use ddoc to generate my Turkish D site as well (ddili.org). My Makefile does automatically remove Google Translate tool for local test access during development.
