HOW TO: Chat in Real-time in 45 Languages
Worldwide communication has come a long way due to social media, but
there are a couple of barriers that affect conversation across
borders. One would be the ease of communication. Most web-based
communication platforms require signups or downloadable clients. The
bigger roadblock to worldwide communication though are the thousands
of languages that are in use today.
A new and very interesting service is trying to solve both of these
problems using a simple and innovative platform: BabelWith.Me.
BabelWith.Me is a web-based group chat tool with a major twist: it
automatically translates conversations into 45 languages. Here, try
out the Mashable room to see it in action.
The Alpha service is incredibly straightforward to use. Just click the
“Start a Conversation” button on the homepage…and that’s it. That one
click creates an entirely new chatroom that you can invite friends,
colleagues, and strangers to use. It’s a simple interface, but with

بابلBurj Babil) according to chapter 11 of the Book of Genesis, was
an enormous tower built at the city of Babel, the Hebrew name for
Babylon (Akkadian Babilu). According to the biblical account, a united
humanity, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, took
part in the building after the Great Flood; Babel was also called the
"beginning" of Nimrod's kingdom. The people decided their city should
have a tower so immense that it would have "its top in the
heavens"(וְרֹאשׁוֹ בַשָּׁמַיִם). However, the Tower of Babel was not
built for the worship and praise of God, but was dedicated to the
glory of man, with a motive of making a 'name' for the builders: "Then
they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its
top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we
shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'" (Genesis
11:4). God, seeing what the people were doing, came down and
confounded their languages and scattered the people throughout the
earth. It had been God's original purpose for mankind to grow and fill
the earth.
