Topic: Yahoo launches translation tool

[Clive]

Internet users can now use Yahoo's search engine to translate foreign language pages.

Yahoo has built the popular translation service Babel Fish, initially developed by Altavista, into the Yahoo search tool.

The Yahoo! Babel Fish service lets people translate a block of text up to 150 words long or enter any URL and, by pressing a 'Translate a Web Page' button, translate the text of an entire webpage.

The service lets English users translate English into 12 different languages, and back.

There is also an option to add Babel Fish to your toolbar.

... I await the google version that I expect will now be announced soon, and I bet it will be much more flexible!
