[sldev] Please help testing the SLViewer with integrated universal translation

[Ann Otoole]

Can we please make it so the translator is intelligent enough to determine what your selected language is and produce that translation automatically? 
(Instead of filling chat with dozens of statements in all the languages of the world) 

I.e.; someone speaks in French while you are set to Japanese and someone else is set to German. 
Everyone sees French in main chat but on your screen you also see a Japanese translation and the person with German also sees a German translation. 

(And the translated text is in a user selected color for translations.)

Great globalization idea.

Yes I would second that this looks like a really great project!!  Even bad auto-translation is a huge step forward in the overall mission of SL.  I'd love to see something like this in all SL viewers and easily accessible through the UI.

Thanks!

Even if you disagree with the idea of computer translation this project is an excellent example of one kind of thing people will want to do with a plug-in system.  Looking at what it took to integrate this is a good use case for any plug-in api.
