Hey Guys,
I'd just like to say great work to Eichhoernchen and all the people who have been working on plugins. I'm really having a lot of fun with Siri Server.

I've written a basic translation plugin for the server using the Bing API. You'll need an API key which you can input at the top of the document (http://www.microsoft.com/web/post/using-the-free-bing-translation-apis).

Right now, the on;y accepted command is "Translate x to y" where x is the phrase to be translated and y is the target language.

The current problem is that since the server only parses letters which are part of the english alphabet, a lot of the displayed translations (of course depending on the language) are gibberish. Any tips on how we can go about fixing this?
