This Messenger bot does translations for you. Just add <A href="mailto:mtbot@hotmail.com">mtbot@hotmail.com</A> to your contacts and start chatting. You can have one-on-one conversations with the bot, or you can invite a friend and chat in different languages with the bot translating for you.&nbsp; As usual, remember that machine translation isn’t perfect – slang especially will give the engine trouble. <P>You can also access Windows Live Messenger on your smartphone to use the bot to translate simple sentences while you’re traveling to other countries! <P>The translator bot is localized into all of the languages for which we have translation support on <A href="http://www.windowslivetranslator.com/">www.windowslivetranslator.com</A>: <UL> <LI>English to/from: <UL> <LI>Arabic <LI>Chinese Simplified <LI>Chinese Traditional <LI>Dutch <LI>French <LI>German <LI>Italian <LI>Japanese <LI>Korean <LI>Portuguese <LI>Russian (RUS-&gt;ENU only) <LI>Spanish</LI></UL> <LI>Chinese Simplified &lt;-&gt; Chinese Traditional</LI></UL> <P>More languages will be rolled out over the next several months.&nbsp; Start using the bot and let us know your feedback! FYI - at any time while you’re chatting with the bot, just type “TBot ?” to get a list of commands that the bot understands: <P><A href="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/translation/WindowsLiveWriter/WindowsLiveMessengertranslationbotnowava_12361/clip_image002_2.jpg"><IMG style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" height=476 alt=clip_image002 src="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/translation/WindowsLiveWriter/WindowsLiveMessengertranslationbotnowava_12361/clip_image002_thumb.jpg" width=397 border=0></A></P><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8934887" width="1" height="1">Translation
