Popular iPhone app Skyfire has been updated to 3.1.0, bringing with it some really nice features that are sure to please fans of the browser.

First off, Skyfire is now fully translated and localized in seven languages – Italian, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Korean and Spanish (obviously in addition to English!), making it even easier for everybody to get in on the action.

The developers also seem to be making a really big effort to find video sites that don’t work well with the browser, fix them, and provide alternatives while you are waiting. To this end there are two great new features. One is the Related Sites feature – if you come across a video website not yet supported by Skyfire, this will provide you with a selection of alternatives to use while they fix the problem. Secondly, they are introducing Video Support Flow, a feature that allows Skyfire users to connect directly with engineers so that they can report issues and focus attention where it is really needed.

Last, but not least, there’s a new User Agent Interface, which gives users the ability to unlock video content and easy toggling between iPhone (Safari), Desktop and iPad view.
