First I saw this from Steve Clayton:
This is one of the coolest things I have seen pop out of Microsoft in a while - and there have been quite a few lately. The Translation team have provided a short code snippet you can add to your blog to allow it to be translated into multiple different languages.
Then I saw something that clarified that Microsoft isn't the only game in town:
Both Microsoft and Google added widgets for translating your web page into another language. The feature was already available at BabelFish....
Microsoft's widget...uses a translation system from Systran and offers 25 language pairs. The widget seems to work only in Internet Explorer....
Google's widget uses a machine translation system developed by Google, that's available for 29 language pairs. The widget works in most browsers....What I don't like about this widget is that Google cares so much about its branding that it includes a logo for "Google Translate"....Microsoft doesn't add any branding to the widget.
Frankly, I'm not going to implement either of them tonight.
