There is a down side with Google Translate: Not all things translate well. For example, I found it does a fairly decent German if I type in my sentences properly. A friend of mine says the Spanish is more like “Spanglish” (a combination of English and Spanish that the Mexicans brought over into the U.S.). The upside to these language barrier problems is to make vocabulary suggestions to improve the translation through Google Translate. And of course, not all words are translatable since some words are more proprietary for the culture of that country. Other than that, I pretty much use Google Translate with my friends around the world through various types of web applications.

Awesome! It is an amazing tool and here in Portland, Maine where we have a lot of multilingual teens it will come in quite handy!

Very cool! We had some resourceful students in our school library last year “talking” to new foreign exchange students through Google Translate.
