I just ran into Andrea while grabbing a quick lunch in #117 and she asked me if I’d tried the Windows Live Translator yet. I had! Then I see LiveSide had already linked to her post about it: Microsoft Research Machine Translation (MSR-MT) Team Blog : Introducing: Windows Live Translator Beta.

I really like the side-by-side and sentence highlighting between the two views as you hover over text.

Between a tool like this (and the classic Babel Fish) and French dubbed DVDs, I wonder how High School French would have gone for me…
