This is awesome. Coincidentally, I just spent a few hours last night experimenting with adding machine translation to Speak via Moses ( http://www.statmt.org/moses/ ) but I was frustrated by the size of the phrase tables. Having a service on the network for translation would be an excellent alternative.
I wonder about their terms of service, and whether they would be willing to provide this as a free service to all XO users. -josh On Jan 25, 2008, at 11:29 AM, Todd Kelsey wrote: > Hi - you may already know about this but evidently as of mid > december you can now invite chat bots into googletalk, in order to > have instant messaging conversations with people in different > languages.
