Text Messaging Gets a Translator
February 23rd, 2005

Business2.0 reports that a New York City startup called Transclick is rolling out software that translates e-mail and text messages with just one click.

Simply type a phrase on your mobile device and the software can convert it into any of 18 languages, including Chinese, Hebrew, and Portuguese.

The Pentagon and NATO have been using a version of the software since 1999, but Alltel, Cingular, Sprint PCS (PCS), and Verizon Wireless are now getting Transclick up and running on most smartphones and the latest BlackBerrys.

Unlike electronic phrase books, the software understands natural language and offers dictionaries tailored to law, medicine, and manufacturing.
