Skype introduces real time translation for 150 languages.

Delivering on its promise to deliver a translation service, the VoIP market leader has tied up with Voxeo and Language Line Services. Skype is also bringing social networking to crowds as it introduces a service enabling online conversations by groups of up to 100 people at one time.

Just take a minute to consider the implications of this: a free/cheap global internet based phone service which translates.

What Goes On

THINGS TO SEE & DO TODAY

The House of Viktor and Rolf
- "...lives up to its name. The exhibition is dominated by a gigantic doll house, a graceful structure with Palladian proportions where miniature versions of 15 years of fashion fill the series of rooms on three levels."

Psycho Buildings
- "Specially commissioned work transforming The Hayward into a 'psycho building'" Good stuff.

From Atoms to Patterns
- "This exhibition explores the intriguing creations of the Festival Pattern Group - a unique project at the 1951 Festival of Britain involving X-ray crystallographers, designers and manufacturers. At the instigation of Dr Helen Megaw, a leading Cambridge scientist, diagrams of atomic structures inspired an eclectic array of patterns on curtains, wallpapers, carpets, lace, dress fabrics, ties, plates and ashtrays."
