chatworldz
World-class chat translation for world-wide communications.
This chatworldz.com website provides support to users of the in-world "chatworldz" scripted translator HUDs.
Highly Functional
The chatworldz translators support 42 international languages, providing excellent global coverage for all users.
Incoming text is typically configured for the language to be auto-detected and translation is performed automatically for all supported languages.
This chatworldz website provides support to users of the in-world chatworldz scripted HUD object, which can also be rezzed in-world to provide a group of nearby residents with translation services.
Thus, avatars can wear or "rez" the object in-world, to provide either personal translation, or translation to a group.
When the translator is worn as an attachment, it is considered to be in personal mode, and all translations remain private. When the translator is rezzed in-world, it is considered to in public mode and provides a public display of translated text for all avatars within chat range.
Virtual Meets the Real World
The translator's public mode will also support an optional public chat with a named "chatroom" on this chatworldz.com website, providing a means for those who cannot be present in-world to chat with others who are. Likewise, it provides a means for those who are in-world to be heard by the web users (who, like those inworld wearing a translator, will receive all chat in the language of their choice, and have outgoing communications translated to their outgoing preference).
Text travelling in either direction that is already in the target language will not be repeated.
This provides an ideal setup for something such as a non-English club to rez a translator that converts all incoming languages to the club's "home language".
Mobile-Ready
This supporting website is designed to be highly responsive and well-suited for mobile devices.
Secure and Private
All communications to the translation server are encrypted over an industry-standard SSL/TLS connnection via HTTPS. When the translator is worn in personal mode, all communications remain private, because none of the text sent for translation is recorded or stored in any form. When the translator is rezzed in-world, it is considered to in public mode and provides a public display of translated text for all avatars within chat range,
