I have been using AltaVista's Babelfish quite a bit, since I read a lot
of foreign newspapers. I think it's up there with sliced bread. ;)
Languages which have a similar sentence structure to English work very
well. While others that use backwards sentences or dozens of genders
are more difficult to comprehend. Relatively to English that is. :P
They also have stand-alone retail versions. Perhaps one might integrate
such a product into a mud. I'm not sure about APIs or royalties and what
not.
