At last, Google has released something that will benefit Google Talk users too! Just yesterday they announced that new translation bots have been added to Google Talk. That means that you can essentially "chat" with the bot, and whatever you say to them, they'll translate it back. It works by adding a bot as one of your friends. So for example, I added the Chinese speaking bot to my friend list (, and then when I said "Hello," it responded with "Hello" in Chinese. When I said "How are you?" it responded with the same, just translated in Chinese, nifty, huh?
