   Google Talk has a number of Translation bots available. Here is
   how to enable them so you can talk to people in your language,
   while they can talk to you in their language, and you will both
   understand each other!

   1) Find the language you are interested in communicating in.
   Here is the list:

   Arabic - English ar2en en2ar

   Bulgarian - English bg2en en2bg

   Czech - English cs2en en2cs

   Danish - English da2en en2da

   German - English de2en en2de

   German - French de2fr fr2de

   Greek - English el2en en2el

   Spanish - English es2en en2es

   Finnish - English fi2en en2fi

   French - English fr2en en2fr

   Hindi - English hi2en en2hi

   Croatian - English hr2en en2hr

   Italian - English it2en en2it

   Japanese - English ja2en en2ja

   Korean - English ko2en en2ko

   Dutch - English nl2en en2nl

   Norwegian - English no2en en2no

   Polish - English pl2en en2pl

   Portuguese - English pt2en en2pt

   Romanian - English ro2en en2ro

   Russian - English ru2en en2ru

   Swedish - English sv2en en2sv

   Chinese - English zh2en en2zh

   Traditional Chinese - English zh-hant2en en2zh-hant

   Traditional Chinese - Chinese zh-hant2zh zh2zh-hant

   Their email addresses are: from language 2 to language
   @bot.talk.google.com

   I used: *pt2en* and *en2pt*

   pt2en = pt2en@bot.talk.google.com and en2pt =
   en2pt@bot.talk.google.com

   2) Add the 2 translators (one for each direction) to your Google
   contacts.

   a) Name doesn't matter. I used en2pt

   b) email address was: en2pt@bot.talk.google.com

   c) google Talk name is: en2pt

   d) Do the same for the *other* direction, in this case, pt2en

   3) Now you can use them! Just add pt2en and en2pt to your Group
   Conversation in Google Talk and your portuguese friend will
   understand you, and you will understand your portuguese friend.

   @114432670726535922943 - Thank you so much for deciding to start
   a chat with me. When you talked to me, i saw your words in
   Portuguese and translated into English. I was absolutely amazed!
   Then I saw my words translated from English into Portuguese. I
   then realized we have a Star Trek style Universal Translator in
   Google Talk! I then posted to Orkut that ''It can be done''.
   This intrigued @112459149602325274654 who took this to level 2.

   Many, many thanks to @112459149602325274654 for working so well
   with me in testing the English to Portuguese, Portuguese to
   English in Google Talk. I could not have done this at all
   without him. He is now a very good friend to me.
