Yes, this is exciting! I have been wanting to work on something similar 
for some time, except that I work more in minority languages, and Google 
translate falls down there (plus I believe Python is more maintable than 
Perl, sorry). Since translations aren't available for minority 
languages, the process has to be reduced to statistics applied to the 
translation.

Blessings,
Robert.
