Hi Missbehaves,

Scripts can't see what's typed in IM, so there are no direct translators available for IM chat. We're not supposed to give recommendations here (and I really haven't got one anyway) but you can search the marketplace for "translator" and you'll find a thing that claims to have an imperfect work-around.

Good luck!

Just to add to Madelaine's explanation, the work-round is that you type out the message you want translated (or copy-paste it if it's one you received) on a non-chat channel, and the translator then translates the message for you, using llOwnerSay (so only you can see the results).   If the translation is into the foreign language, you copy-paste that into the IM and send it.

It's not ideal, but it's a bit more convenient than switching between SL and Google translate, which is the other way of doing it.
