About
====
The Universal Translator is a device that dynamically translates public chat so that people in Second Life can communicate more easily through language barriers. It is designed to require no interaction other than to speak freely in your native language. Nothing could be easier!

Instructions
========
Translations are automatically performed as you publically chat within 20m of the Universal Translator. If somebody participating in the translated chat speaks a different language, they receive an Instant Message with the translation of your chat into their native language.

Important Points:
*Instant messages from the translator show up as public chat, but in a different color.
*There is no need for complex commands or any action on your part other than to speak in your native language.
*Only people who have chosen to participate in the translated chat will have their text translated or will see your translated text.
*People in the list that speak your native language will not see the translations.
*Please speak in the language that you specified, as speaking in other langauges besides the one selected will confuse the translator and others around you.

To leave the translation, to change your language selection, or for help and other options, simply touch the Universal Translator. When you leave the 20m radius around the Universal Translator, you are automatically removed from the translation list within a few moments.
