Whether for business purposes or social purposes if you want accurate real-time translation and on skype, I suggest you check out the Moka skype plug-in. Through this application you can send translated text messages to your Chinese or Spanish skype contacts. And because you can see both the original and the translated text every time a message is sent, you can learn the language while communicating. In addition, Moka Chat for Skype enables you to send translated SMS text messages using Skype’s built-in text messaging service. ….. By the way, you can download this plug-in from http://www.moka.com.

I would think that there must be a way to track who is posting. It would be nice if students could use Skype
