"Barry Welford at Cre8asite Forums stumbled upon a post by Rich Tehrani where Gmail has a feature that translates words on the fly for you, which is especially helpful if you're reading an email within Gmail and need to look up the words quickly.He explains:What you are doing is chatting to the bot that does Google translations. So for example if you want to translate from English to French, you add en2fr@bot.talk.google.com as one of your contacts. Then whenever you go chat with en2fr, what ever you say will be translated in the reply from the bot. If you're a frequent user of Gmail, as I am, you may find this a very useful feature. The translation isn't perfect but it often will provide what you're looking for.As eKstreme echoes, however, the translation really isn't perfect.  It will do a basic translation and you'll get the idea of what is being said, but you won't get the best translation.  Still, it's a cool tool to use if you're in need of a quick definition.Over at Search Engine Land, Barry talks more about the features available and encloses screenshots.  Additionally, the Google Talkabout Blog has more.Forum discussion continues at Cre8asite Forums."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
