Seems like a great thing! I'm going to Europe this Fall so this would be extremely handy. Though...wonder how getting a reverse translation would work? I didn't see an obvious way to switch between languages mid-stream other than to close and re-open the conversation each time. (as if you were have a face-to-face conversation needing translation)

Finally! I've been hoping something like this would come out.

I didn't want to have to rely on SpeakLike ( http://www.speaklike.com/ ) to do translated IMing. Now it's in WLM itself! Neat. I hope it gets 'natural' vernacular that people like to use more often. Translation services really need to work on that.
