[sldev] Autotranslation build to try out

[Jo Grant]

By what mechanism is the translation done? If it's not local, what is the 
transport mechanism to and from the translation service?
I've done a lot of work on chat translation and you can't forget the 
privacy concerns. Not that Second Life chat is secure anyway, but people 
are going to want to know who their chats are being sent to. If it's going 
up and down the line via https, or some other secured transfer protocol, 
that's one step. However, a picky person would say that if the service 
logs the text submitted for translation (which Google does, to build up 
it's dictionaries) than it is a violation of the terms of service.
Just saying...

Cheers,

Jo /Jaymin Carthage
