This Christmas, Google has announced just that for its Google talk IM service: bots (bot is short for robot, a program that mimics real conversation or serves some task in a chat channel) which will translate whatever you say into another language.
If you want to try it, just add en2zh@bot.talk.google.com as a friend in Google Talk and send it a message to translate from English to Chinese. It’s a bot that will translate whatever you say from English to Chinese.
For more languages, just add any of the 29 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, bg2en, de2en, de2fr, el2en, en2ar, en2de, en2el, en2es, en2fr, en2it, en2ja, en2ko, en2nl, en2ru, en2zh, es2en, fi2en, fr2de, fr2en, hi2en, hr2en, it2en, ja2en, ko2en, nl2en, ru2en, uk2en, ur2en, zh2en. So, for French to German translation, talk to fr2de@bot.talk.google.com
This chat will be helpful for business verticals across the globe for easy communication with their multilingual clients. This is definitely going to be a future means of communication among all business segments to communicate with their clients. Marketers must leverage this tool for effective communication to sell their products/services in a country where they are facing language problem.
Much kudos to Google! I really salute you.
