    Windows Live Messenger translation bot!

    Posted over 5 years ago

    Windows Live Messenger Translation How great is this latest Bot, from the MSR-MT team Windows Live Messenger translation bot now available!

    Really easy to use and setup in a few seconds on Windows Live Messenger, and on your smartphone.

    To get started just add mtbot@hotmail.com to your contacts, then start a conversation with TBOT ? to get a list of commands, and then for example enter 7 (for English to Italian translation), then type your message and you get a machine translated response such as

    ‘quanto freddo è il Bot in tensione di traduzione del messaggero delle finestre’

    Update – just also added this to my Office Communicator and of course it works fine there too.

    What’s new in Windows 7 RC - Video

    So earlier today I successfully moved from the Windows 7 beta to the Windows 7 RC with only a few minor problems that where fixed either in Action Center or running Windows Update.

    I then stumbled upon this great video from Stephen Rose about what’s new in the Windows 7 RC, which is a great video if you want to discover what has changed.

     

    If you prefer a little more detail and text try our What’s new in Windows 7 pages
