In case you haven’t noticed yet, the Windows Live team came up with yet another super cool gadget: the Windows Live Translator (beta). I’ve been using this little toy for a couple of days and I must say I’m pretty satisfied with the translations I got for the languages I needed. There’s 26 languages supported! Larry Larsen blogged about this too, and has some interesting details about the tool that I didn’t knew yet.
You’ll see an interesting side-by-side comparision between the original and the translated page and some controls to change views at the top. One of these controls will translate only the text you mouse over, or show the original text on mouse hover, which is very convenient for those who aren’t completely fluent and just need a helping hand in the translation.
In his post, Larry compares what the Google Translator came up with to the Live Translator. The difference is quite impressive. For a few more helpful tips, read his post on On10.net!
