Translatey for Google Wave, Speak Your Own Language

Translatey is a lightweight Multilingual Translator Based on Google Translate API.


Imagine you are chatting with friends from different countries, where no one speaks other's language ? Yes, now this is possible using Translatey.


To add Translatey, simply add: translatey@appspot.com to your contacts and whenever you want it to help, just add it to your wave as a prticipant, enjoy speaking your own language, and let Translatey do the translation job.


Translatey is a Robot, it means it only does what you want it to do, however, it provides you with initial help to start translation. The robot asks you to choose from couple of options:

1- Enter (/?) for Help (To list all the available languages and their codes)

2- Or Enter (/!) to view credits and info about author

3- Or Simple enter the language code you want to translate to, example: If I want to make Translatey translate to French, I simple enter the code '''fr''', Translatey then will greet me in French indicating that I can start writing and Translatey is then ready to translate to French, and so on.


Translatey has a built-in '''Auto-Detect''' feature, used in Google Translate, which allows Translatey to detect the creator's language. Example, If I chose French to translate to, then I can write in ANY language, and Translatey will detect my language and translate it to French.

'''Example Screen-shots''':

[Initial Welcome & Help Message]



[Choosing a language:]



[Translating to the Chosen Language:]



[Changing the Destination Language to Japanese:]



[Auto-Detecting the Japanese Language when translating back to French:]
