The fight between Google and Microsoft has become increasingly strong and tough. In the last few years, Google managed to build a real empire of technology, which thanks to their work, is maintained at high levels but Microsoft can't accept that. After creating a free online storage space, Microsoft now aims to take some of Google's fame with a new online translator. Microsoft also plans to offer a widget for websites that will be able to translate web pages.

But like many other services which Microsoft only offers because of it's competitors, Windows Live Translator isn't nowhere near as good as Google Translate and also it only has about 12 languages as compared to ~41 for Google Translate.

One new thing about this though: Microsoft added a translation bot for Windows Live Messenger.
Simply add mtbot@hotmail.com to your contacts and invite Tbot to your conversations.

In a move to extend the reach of its Windows Live Messenger chat service, Microsoft today released some tools to add chat to Websites. Any Website can add a chat feature and tap into the 320 million active Windows Live Messenger users. It is quick and dirty way to add a social element to any Website, and at the same time it is yet one more distribution point for Live Messenger (consumers who want to chat on Websites with the feature will have to sign up if they don’t already have an account.).
