20 Dec 2007 - Translation on the go....
Travelling to China?

How is this for an idea!

Simply by adding en2zh@bot.talk.google.com to your Google Talk Contacts you can type anything you like and it will bounce back to you with the translation!

Install Google Talk on your Blackberry and you can use it on the run..

For other languages,  you just add any of the 23 other translation bots. They're named using two-letter language abbreviations as "[from language]2[to language]@bot.talk.google.com", and the supported language pairs are: ar2en, de2en, de2fr, el2en, en2ar, en2de, en2el, en2es, en2fr, en2it, en2ja, en2ko, en2nl, en2ru, en2zh, es2en, fr2de, fr2en, it2en, ja2en, ko2en, nl2en, ru2en, zh2en. So, for French to German translation, talk to fr2de@bot.talk.google.com.

I might just try that out in Beijing 2008!
