HUD-Free Language Translation for Second Life
Second Life resident Max Case, inventor of the free Babbler heads-up display that allows translation between various languages in text chat within SL, has now come up with a standalone object called the De-Babbler that translates other people’s chat for you. The Babbler required the speaker to choose a native language and a language for their chat to be translated to. The De-Babbler (which is still in testing) allows the listener to choose a person in the vicinity and receive a translated version of their chat. This seems like a nice advance, since it means you no longer have to give someone a HUD and teach them how to use it — in a foreign language — before you can converse. Nice job. Available free at this »Second Life location« from the object pictured above.

thanks for the mention. You still have to chose the language of the speaker - i don’t have auto-detect unfortunately. Oh, and it’s also a HUD, incase people were given the impression it’s something you rez on the ground.

Very nyce the program BABLER, but its translate for portugueze ibérico(Portugal), an not translate for portugueze-Brasilian(most utilized today)- I need the Babbler translating for portugueze-Brasilian too ok? Thank’s!
I will ask if babbler and de-babbler are compatible with Hungarian language?? were cool if it were. Most of my friends can’t enjoy Second Life because they lack english knowledge. just the basics like yes or no they understand. :P If it does nut suppoert Hun than please send me one if you make one! David Fiul In SL. Thanks and keep up the good work!
