And unlike Google Translate, they have a <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/translation/default.aspx" rel="nofollow">team blog</a>. ;) It still astounds me that Realtor.com and Zillow <a href="http://www.raincityguide.com/2006/07/17/no-entiendo-su-lengua-i-dont-understand-your-language/" rel="nofollow">still doesn't speak spanish yet</a>. Oh well, it'll happen someday. Have you tried Microsoft’s offering at http://translator.live.com? And unlike Google Translate, they have a team blog. ;)

FInally. This feature of google would save people tons of money. A few months ago i was in the brink of hiring someone to translate my entire site so as to cater to the hispanic market. This is awesome and like what you said, hopefully it gets better and better. Now this is technology at its best.. Yes. FInally. This feature of google would save people tons of money.

Sadly, before too long my Russian translating abilities won't be needed. (BTW, where in Russia is your wife from Dustin? I lived in Moscow, Ryazan, and Voronezh) Great Scott Google is going to literally change international relations as we know it!!!

You know continuing refining this ability to translate languages could help to save/preserve languages throughout the world. English is becoming more and more used as a world wide language because we need a common language to communicate. As research devleops better and better translation ability then it could become less necessary for English to be so important, and preserve lingual diversity. Very cool to see this happening on the internet. Following through to the ultimate end of this kind of research would be instantaneous translation. Of course on Star Trek they invented this already...the Universal Translator! :-) That is so interesting, the world really is getting smaller.
