Automatic translation?

Hi,

This is an idea I thought I'd throw out there.

Bit of back story, Being in the uk, I joined the eu megaserver for this beta weekend. Whilst in Cyrodil, I noticed a number of players typing in their native tongue, which, let me be clear, I have no problem with.

Trouble is, I had difficulty understanding what was being communicated. Then I thought, how difficult would it be to run text through an interpreter so as to display it in a language the user understands, in real time.

For example, a user types in english and german users would get a translation of that message based on user chat settings, or vice-versa. I really don't know how possible this is, if at all, but I think it would make things easier for all players to understand there fellow cohorts.

What do you think?

I am not native English speaking and my two dimes on the question are.

If you don't speak English to me I just ignore you and what you said.
