Between being sick last week and being in 4 time zones in 26 hours this week on business travel, it has been hard to find time to get a blog post done. We have a couple of new AIM plugins to share this morning. Both plugins are pretty basic but great little utilities.
Translator
--------------
Translator is a plugin that will allow you to translate incoming instant messages. So, if your buddy is writing to you in English, but you would rather read his messages in Spanish, that is possible. If your buddy is writing to you in Italian and you only understand English, we support that as well. The plugin has a preference window accessible via the Actions menu at the bottom of the buddy list. One more note, the plugin does require version 1.1 of the .net runtime or better. You can download the plugin here.
SSO to developer.aim.com
-----------------------------------
This plugin was written by our intern this year, and is a very convenient plugin that will seemlessly sign you on to developer.aim.com to manage your developer keys and download the latest SDK or post on the message boards. This plugin will work with AIM 6.2 beta 2 or the latest AIM Lite. Because this plugin is a widget, you can rename the extension from .awi to .zip and view the files in the plugin to see how we made this work. Download this plugin here.

Thanks for the feedback. I am going to work on adding more languages in the near future. Maybe even a double byte language or two. ;-)

Wow, I have to say this is the coolest plugin of the year!

We had spell checker back in the "triton" days...for better or for worse. I know we will see a spell checker in the future. I can look into doing something via a plugin, but the issue is that I can't make the plugin underline misspelled words just yet.

Very cool idea with the Translator plugin.
Can we please get a Spell check plugin? You could even just have it hook into Aspell if you'd prefer to go that route. I just can't believe that AIM does not offer a spell check feature and/or plugin. That just amazes me...
