I just tried using it, and conversations get very confusing when using it. What I would recommend, is leaving all text in the conversation window untouched, and show a second window created by the script containing all translated text.
Its a good start, i like the idea.

I'd recommend going with an option for a separate window if you were going to go with that and also something like remember language options for this contact :) otherwise awesome, we actually had a translate script during beta testing but it never worked out

also I wanna drink a beer, I have a fridge AND Cupboard full :D

I agree, also found this out myself last night while I was chatting with my french friend. There are some moments you wanna see the original text because there's a strange word in the translation.

I think this is a great idea, it would be less confusing. But what should I do with the message you sent yourself? I personally think it's not necessary to see your own messages in the seperate window... What do you guys think about that?

That sounds like heaven :D We store them in the basement in the original crates, it's cold in the Netherlands so it's not necessary to keep them in the fridge :P So if you're in the Netherlands someday, you're welcome :D!

Thanks for the replies so far! Keep them coming :D!

Separate Window I think.
