Translate Instantly with Google Talk BotsMost of the time we chat in english language but if there is ever a need where someone on the other side talks to you in some other language, you can translate it instantly using one of these google talk bots.
Google recently launched its machine translation technology accessible from within Google Talk and Gmail talk which gives mail and IM users instant access to translation capabilities. Here is how it works, you can add this bots into your buddy list and when you need any translation, you can IM to chat-bot for instant translation.
What I don't know is whether sending an email to the same bot works or not. I tried to send short note to en2es@bot.talk.google.com from my other email and I got failure delivery. So probably this works only for talk and not for emails. I wish they would have provided something similar for emails as well.
So here are the list of translation bots that you can use for your IM translation.
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.
You may have figured it out, its basically <from-language>2<to-language>@bot.talk.google.com. It would have been great if you can add this bots to your yahoo or AIM or any other instant messaging service but oh well..
