[sldev] Autotranslation build to try out

[David Simmons]

The actually translation is call by the lltranslate.cpp, the google
url is hardcoded, it should not be hard to make it a setting in the
xml file:

+// These two are concatenated with the language specifiers to form a
complete Google Translate URL
+const char* LLTranslate::m_GoogleURL =
"http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=";

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.
