In fact, it is adware (btw, it's qTranslate; gTranslate is of course without ads). I included a link to my web application Tiddlers on Rails, when the text is send to the server.
Would be nice to have some feedback on this; I thought about developing more applications for Maemo, it would be much more interesting for me to include ads or sell it for a low price. Would you rather pay then have ads? Of course, I could not sell qTranslate as Google does not allow it.

I once tried that for a desktop (open source) software. I had several thousand downloads, but not a single donation. In my opinion, this is not the way to do it.
Or does anyone have good experiences with donations?

I just uploaded my first maemo package to extras-devel, its name is "qTranslate". It is a translation software based on Google Translate, quite similar to gTranslate), but based on the Qt framework.
It supports all Google Translate languages, bi-directional translations, clipboard operations and allows you to send the translated text as an e-mail.
Screenshots (main screen and menu):
The bugtracker is here:
https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=qTranslate
The .deb file is here:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/qtranslate/
And Mark Guim just posted a nice tutorial how to install .deb files on your N900, if you don't want to activate extras-devel:

Have fun!
