Skype Translator
Automatic translations are a good but imperfect way of being able to understand text that is written in a language that is not spoken by the user (or not spoken sufficiently to understand the text). Google's translation service is without doubt one of the most popular – and widely used – automatic translation services on the Internet. One of its interesting features is the api which can be used to add translation options to software programs and other web services.
The Skype Translator plugin is using Google Translator to provide automatic translations for Skype conversations. The plugin needs access rights which can be given or denied upon first start of the plugin and Skype.
