On the way to perfect computing

For a long time I’ve been using Lingvo on Windows, despite the fact that it’s not able to translate some words from modern english.

On Linux it was Google Translate.  Though, it’s boring sometimes to do the round trip:  Open new tab in FF -> go to google transate -> pick necessary translation direction -> translate -> return to your work.

Thanks God, recently I surfed  and found Google Talk Translation Bots post.

Now I have two guys sitting in my contact list – en2ru@bot.talk.google.com and ru2en@bot.talk.google.com

So, whenever I want to translate something I can speak to them either in Gmail or GTalk client.
