Google launched bots for Google, with which you can translate phrases "on the fly" in the chat interface. Just add, for example, en2zh
bot .talk.google.com and start a chat with it, and the bot will duplicate the phrase you have written in the desired language (here - Chinese). According to Google, it will be very convenient for communication in a group of people speaking different languages.
Now the following bots are written: ar2en, bg2en, de2en, de2fr, el2en, en2ar, en2de, en2el, en2es, en2fr, en2it, en2ja, en2ko, en2nl, en2ru, es2en, fi2en, fr2de, fr2en, hi2en, an, an, an2ru, es2en, fi2en, en2ru, en2ru, en2ru , ko2en, nl2en, ru2en, uk2en, ur2en, zh2en.
Add
bot to .talk.google.com nickname and translate :)
Unfortunately, there is practically no Russian, but if you have to communicate with, say, a non-English speaking Japanese, the bots become more or less useful. :)
