Might not work for every multilingual setup, but it did for my use-case. It solved the problem that comments made to a specific language version do not show up on the other versions.
I give it a 4/5 on Ease of Use, as it is not the most intuitive approach to translating content, especially for the non-technical site moderators that need to add content.
The issues raised in shl's review have been addressed in versions 1.7 and above. I can't add this comment any other way, so I'm now going to review my own module with 5 out of 5 for everything, as that is hopefully what shl would now do :)
Very useful when you need to have only a single node, but the content in multiple languages, e.g. when you create forms with webforms module, and don't want to re-create the form with all it's fields for each language, and want to have all the submitted data collected in one place.
Translations are also very easy to maintain when they're on a single node.
Works as expected, and very easy to use.
It gets 4/5 on Ease of use though because of the somewhat cryptic tags to use for default text ("qz") and for text that should always be shown ("qq").
