Hi Jeff
From: Jeff Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: July 20, 2008 4:26:26 PM GMT+02:00 To: [email protected] Subject: [Mt-list] MT and Instant Messenger/chatIs anyone using MT in combination with IM such as Skype, Yahoo IM, MSN Messenger, AOL IM, or other chat channels?
I developed a Perl program that integrates interNOSTRUM --an online Catalan-Spanish machine translation system-- into chat clients and text editors: http://www.haboogo.com/sometools/mt_clients.htm
How is the technical integration?
The program works on almost every chat client following a lightweight approach that doesn't require dealing with chat client APIs. It uses Web scraping to automate the interaction with the MT engine website and GUI automation to handle the interaction with the chat client.
Is it easy to use?
Yes. It runs in the background as a system tray applet and its functionality
is invoked through function keys. You will find more details in the User's Guide. I will add MT clients for other online machine translation systems in the near future. Kind regards, Enrique
