Nice Translator makes Google's translations sexy

by Josh Lowensohn

If you like Google's translate service but want something that can do the same phrase in multiple languages at once and in real time, the Nice Translator is worth checking out.

This simple application uses Google Translate to do the heavy lifting. It lets users type in any phrase, in any language, then translates it into one of the other 34 available languages as they type.

The site works fairly well on mobile devices, including the iPhone, though not as well as Google's own mobile-translation page despite its one-language-at-a-time limitation.

Hi Josh - This neat little app was written by a friend of mine, Mike Cobelli - a brilliant guy a Rensselaer Polytechnic.

Curious how you found the site?

Regards,
Matt
