Universal+Translator

We need to see if we can find a universal language translator that meets some criteria
 * 1) It needs to translate from English to a variety of other languages - at lease Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese - but the more the better.
 * 2) It needs to perform the translation FROM local chat (everyone in 20m can see) to the individuals chat, meaning only the person who "owns" (meaing, either it gets rezzed or worn) the translator sees the translation in the language they pick.

I would be willing to consider paying for this object IF - it is transferable and copyable - I don't care if its not modifyable.

Here is why we need it. There are these meetings each week and we get educators from many countries, some of whom do not speak English as a primary language. Having something we can give them to be able to make it easier for them to attend and participate is what we are looking for.


 * Ulani -**I found a great translator, it translated into 51 different languages.The greatest thing about the X- LANG Translator is that you can buy a free demo ( which I tried out and it is very simple). Its a HUD so it's attachable and detachable. It has all the requirements besides being transferable. I sent a note card to creator of the X- LANG Translator to see if he could make any modifications and I hope to hear a response from him shortly.


 * - Update 03/22/10** The creator of the X-LANG Translator would not modify the translator to be transferable.

Pick up your own free demo! []
 * [Steve] I tried the X-LANG Translator using some basic French, it works a little slower than the MH Translator (not much, just slight latency between the initial message and the translation) and seems to omit words from my basic translations that MH Translator did not omit when translating phrases that I know.


 * Steve -** The MH Translator does 52 languages, supports IM translation, has a clear HUD, language auto-detection (on specific channels), claims to be the fastest translator in SL, and has a few other features. By default it is copyable, but not Transferrable.

The Demo is L$1. []
 * [Steve]I tried the MH Translator using some of the basic French that I know, and it does work quickly and (as far as I know) accurately.


 * Robin** - I found a translator that translates 52 languages. It appears to be free and copyable but not transferable. It can attach to the HUD or be placed on the ground (have not found out if this ways works). Translation takes a few seconds to translate and seems to have a problem translating "web speak." Unsure of how accurate the translations are but it should be worth looking at.
