Translating Web pages into a foreign language

Considering that Sesame can be used to generate Web pages or provide pages from a database, here's something I ran across that people might find useful.

If you have never used the Google Chrome browser, install it, go to Wikipedia, browse some foreign-language pages and let it translate the page for you.  (It will automatically tell you the correct language and offer to translate.)  I majored in languages in college and I'm absolutely amazed at the accuracy.  They are using an entirely new translation method--they literally compare billions of pages in two languages, so if they run across the same phrase the software has a pretty good idea how to translate it.

The same technology can be added to any Web page free with just a few lines of code here: http://translate.google.com/translate_tools  (The code is not customized.)

Here is a sample page: www.spaceshipsofezekiel.com/html/misc-propulsion_systems.html
