Shortly before we were off to Developers Conference, our dveloper program evangelist Lester announced the winners of the competition we held to all Skype plugin developers. We got some really interesting ones and if you’re interested in how you can extend Skype with plugins, I encourage you to check out them all.

I took a look at one of them, TranSkype by TransClick. It’s a plugin that translates chat messages on the fly. In the current version, it shows both original and translated version, but their folks also showed me a web-based version where the translation is completely transparent so that you may even not know what language the other parties are speaking.
