Instant Message in different languages – Meglobe

Shoaib Hashmi 

Meglobe Logo Meglobe is an Instant Messaging service that allows you to send messages in different languages. The translator translates your message from your default language into several different languages which includes English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Deutsch, Japanese, Russian, Nederlands, Greek, Korean, Arabic, Swedish and Chinese.

To avail the service, you first have to go through an easy process of registration. Once registered, you will be able to see a messenger on your homepage. You can add/remove friends, search a contact in your list, minimise the messenger or put it anywhere on the window you feel comfortable with. Also you can search people by their Meglobe id/username, country, location (State), activity, interest, gender and primary language.

In its beta stage, the site has certain flaws which can easily be fixed. You can’t customise your status in the messenger, you can only set it to either available or away. When you’re finding people by ‘activity’ or ‘interest’, you can hardly get any result. This can be improved by giving users a drop down menu containing various options including an ‘others’ options (users will select this option if they can’t find any option of their interest).

Furthermore if you resize your window to half, the version of the application appears on the welcome message. Translation from all languages should be available instead of only default language. Unexpectedly, logout is also not working.

The layout of the website is awesome and the thing which I liked the most is their service of instant translation and messaging. They have achieved the goal of providing this service though they need to work on other features to make the website more user friendly. Watching their attitude towards the service I’m very much positive that they will remove the flaws soon. I’ve liked the service very much and I’m optimistically looking forward for the complete version of the application.
