I just read a post about a Google Translate widget for Betawiki
(http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com/2009/02/google-is-my-friend.html),
and it made me wonder whether the new TM plugin architecture for Virtaal
could support such a plugin, which appeared to be a translation memory,
but actually just shipped the string out to Google for machine
translation. Given the presence of a libtranslate machine translation
plugin, I would guess that this would be possible, but as the TM stuff
in Virtaal 0.3 doesn't seem to work on my Fedora 7 system (backrev GTK+,
no SQLite, maybe other issues, I haven't had time to investigate) I
don't really know for sure.
I was actually quite surprised by this question, surely I'd announced it
on the list. Seems I didn't!
So I wrote this blog post:
