Slick idea, I like it!

Nice, but OS X isn't going to be able to detect our languages,
especially not on short strings. Our list of 100+ languages is at
http://accentuate.us/languages if interested.

I can, however, hard code the languages into the Service and it won't
be a horrible setup that way. Our languages list probably won't change
too frequently--the important bit is that we can still update the
models on our end to improve accuracy.

I still have some work to do on the OS X Service. Mainly, adding a
feedback item (so people can correct accents if incorrectly placed,
send the corrected text back to us, and we can use it as additional
training data) and hard coding the languages.

Would you be able to do a plug-in to call the Service once I get it
going better? You'd be much more familiar with the Adium source than
myself and I still have that scheduling problem :)

Thanks a ton for your help!

Michael
