All-

The second upload of the day is libTranslator, a library stack to
provide real-time string translations from web services, such as they
are. The API is documented in the stack - only a small number of
functions are necessary. This is intended for low-traffic use, since
it hands the translation work off to other services and it can end up
generating a lot of network traffic. Also, machine translation is
imperfect, as everyone knows. Still, this does generate a first-pass
translation between nine different languages.

Note that this is version 1.0 - this is a rewrite and expansion of the
old WDSL library. It currently handles four different web translation
services - all of them are active as of today, but web services seem
to come and go with alarming frequency.
