Second Life Language Translator - De-babbler

De-babbler works!

I had the opportunity to use this program with two Spanish typing avatars.
The translation, while not perfect, was better than I had expected. If you want to try it, here are the directions:

How to use (copied)
Wear it. Should be a HUD point. If you don’t know what this means, then just drag it from your inventory to the ground, and follow he directions.

You will be prompted to Pick the language YOU speak. This sets De-babbler to your language.
