Proving necessity is the mother of all invention, Google's mobile team has developed an iPhone interface for Google Translate.
Allen Hutchison, a software engineer at Google, said that while planning a holiday in Europe he was frustrated that Google Translate didn't work well on the iPhone and teamed up with a fellow Google engineer, David Singleton, to create a new iPhone interface for the translator.
He says Google Translate for iPhone is optimized for speed, supports all existing Google Translate language pairs and uses a client-side data store on the iPhone to hang onto past translations to keep them at hand, even if not connected to the internet.
The software interface was written using the AJAX Language API.
"I tried an early version of this interface out on my trip and it was great - although my pronunciation wasn't," Hutchison said in his mobile blog.
"So every now and then, I would just hold up my phone to let people read what I couldn't. If you're wondering about data costs, I found I could get between 200 and 400 translations in 1MB of data download.
"Although we don't charge for this service, your carrier may charge for the data usage, so be sure to know what your roaming rates are. For my plan, I found that I could translate 400 phrases for less than US$10 when roaming internationally," Hutchison said.

The cloud crashes make major new stories. We've got two things occurring right now. We've got a massive move into the cloud. That was my first prediction. We have the cloud providers trying to scale up, and perhaps they’ve never scaled up to the levels that they are going to be expected to scale to ...
Frankly I’ve grown weary of the debates over the security of cloud computing. It’s not that I don’t appreciate that there are technical hurdles in front of us, but we have reached a point that a security vulnerability in a single offering, whether that offering is in the public or private cloud, res...

The easiest example cited by Charlie is Google Books, which provides a tremendous service but at the soc...
