This paper presents an extension to the existing mu;tiligualization work (m17n) which will allow people to collaborate on Squeak Etoy projects across different natural languages.

Squeak etoys support several languages, both ISO-Latin based ones (erg., English, German, French), and non-ISO languages (e.g., Japanese). Switching between languages for the Etoy tiles is fairly easy to support as the tiles provide a predefined set of words and phrases, which only need to be translated once.

There are two areas where we need to go beyond the predefined and pre-translated set of phrases: user supplied names and communication between collaborators. This paper will present an approach based on online translation services. We will demonstrate a working prototype and a first analysis of the feasibility of this approach.
