Thanks for this review!! And this is a wide open product for anyone to use for free. This prompt for this tool came from our interactions online and hoping to solve the language barriers, but it is for anyone to use regardless of faith, religion, or purpose.
And vanity urls and many updates are on the way soon. :)

Great job,
Created something similar on top of Twitter, you can visualize real time real time twits on Google Earth and at the same time you can translate them to any language, using Google Earth API and Google Translation.
Your suggestions are right on! The launch was moved up to offer free multilanguage communication with those in Iran, so we had to pass on some features that were important to us. Look for vanity URL's, embeddable chats and a few other things we have up our sleeve in the upcoming releases.
Thanks again, and rest assured that this tool with remain open to everyone!

Thanks so much! I get readers at my blog I can't converse with easily ... they can read and write English but I'm a typical American with one language - this could make a huge difference!

How cool is that, I'll have to try it. Perhaps I won't need it many times, but this app will open just more doors in the www. Great! Thanks for the review!

This functionality is there in other IM services using bots. Where you can invite a translation bot to your conversation. Google wave does this and Window live messenger already has this. But babelwith.me is open and innovative interface that makes it stand out.

I opened this webiste on IE7 but it wasn't able to figure out which browser I was using. It said me that I'm using IE 6. Here is the screenshot http://twitpic.com/8165b

Thanks for the review Ben.
To echo what Tony said, we just want to get the technology out there for anyone to use. We are a church, but we create a lot technology that is useful both inside and outside the church.
I hope it is helpful in breaking down the language barrier and helping all of us connect even more easily with others around the world.

As said already, this is just a copy of Google Wave.
The ironic thing is it says "powered by Google" at the bottom.
Neat.

Great dialougue and #FistBump to the LifeChurch.tv Digerati Team for dreaming of ways to make the world smaller through free Bible, communication and media access tools.

Very nice app showing off Google's translation technology and app engine. This is very similar to Meglobe's IM product as well, albeit without the crowd sourcing technology for improving translations.

"Pretty certain" ...? It's written just below the box "Powered by Google" :)

Very cool app
Another twitter app i noticed launched this week is Tweet Translate (http://www.tweettranslate.com) which lets you automatically translate tweets and post direct to twitter... you can also save to archive which becomes a pretty cool feature to help learn languages / retweet etc etc

Sounds really cool but doesn't seem to work for me. I tried in both Safari and Firefox and I couldn't see the conversation. Nothing ever popped up to say I needed a new flash or Java plugin or anything. :(

If it really is using Google Translate, I must question the name - it sounds like it's powered by Babelfish ( babelfish.altavista.net )

Wait, Babelfish is gone? (I didn't actually check before posting...)
