I got the idea of using the google translate page as a web service, and using that service in Speech2Blog.  Think about being able to speak and make posts in other languages, or to provide auto-translated RSS feeds (granted this will come with a performance costs, but at a huge gain for accessibility).  Here's the first step in the process -- a translation service that interacts with Google's translator.

The address is:

http://www.restlessdelusions.com/projects/services/translate/translate.asmx

Here's a sample call:

com.restlessdelusions.www.Translate t = new ConsoleApplication1.com.restlessdelusions.www.Translate();
Console.WriteLine(t.TranslateEnglishSpanish("Hello world!"));

Note it currently only supports english->spanish, but this will change in the very near future, depracating the existing method (which will be left functional).
