I think it'll need more than just I18n, unfortunately.  It's currently
set up to blow away the excerpt added content that other AC modules
provide, and is pretty generic in the naming of it's product specific
variables (jsonScript, etc).  I think it needs (and deserves) its own
tab (GBSPreview, perhaps?) and less easily stomped vars.  Also,
there's already a flag to control other uses of the GBS api (the
"browse in google book search" links on the result list page and on
the detail page (should probably go away now?)) that should make use
of here, I think.

I can take a look at that some time if others are not inclined.  In
trac as: http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/ticket/50 .
