multilingual googletalk

[Joshua Minor]

This is awesome.  Coincidentally, I just spent a few hours last night  
experimenting with adding machine translation to Speak via Moses  
( http://www.statmt.org/moses/ ) but I was frustrated by the size of  
the phrase tables.  Having a service on the network for translation  
would be an excellent alternative.

I wonder about their terms of service, and whether they would be  
willing to provide this as a free service to all XO users.
