      Skype users soon will be able to expand the list of people they can connect with, says Microsoft, owner of the popular Web-chat tool.

      I can't wait for this, I wonder how will they translate English to Filipino language 😄

          It's unlikely that they will do as well as Google has been doing for years, which is only so well.

            That would be great...But i still doubt it. Its okay to use in single word. But if your going to translate a sentence or Phrase it would not going to translate well. 😞

              Hmmmm, add another piece of Star Trek tech to real life 🙂

              For the uninitiated, the computer system on the Enterprise and other Star Fleet vessels live translated thousands of languages from many different species in the galaxy. There's even a DS9 episode where it breaks. I think the episode is called "Sanctuary".

                Other IM systems have had this for a while.

                    With you on this.

                    English to Spanish and Spanish to English whilst using a translator is the funniest thing.

                    🙂
