Babel 0.1.1 has just been released. Babel is a tiny library for
translating between languages using Google's automatic language
translation. More information about Google's automatic translation can
be found here:

  http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/faq_translation.html

=== Installation

  sudo gem install babel

=== Usage

  Babel.translate("hello", :en, :fr) #=> "Bonjour"

You can also translate a text into multiple languages by supplying
multiple destination languages:

  Babel.translate("hello", :en, :fr, :it) #=> ["Bonjour", "Ciao"]

There's also a shorthand version using String#translate:

  "your socks are sexy".translate(:en, :de) #=> "Ihre Socken sind
sexy"
