Need a Translator HUD? Here's Seven Product Reviews
If you're looking to communicating across Second Life's many language barriers, Apollo Manga (love the name) comprehensively reviewed seven of them a few months ago. A couple are free, but Mr. Manga says they work quite well compared to the pricey models. Read about them all here.
The only thing of any note Pip Linden had to say in his closing address to SL6B was that he thought it was time to get the open-sourcerers together to integrate a language translator into the SL client.
Presumably this will be the kind of project they'll try in Snowglobe first? He was planning to write up a proposal for the idea, not sure if that's surfaced yet. Be an interesting project to watch for...

A JIRA issue for that very feature, Jovin:
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SNOW-93
with advantages and problematic issues discussed.
Anyone can vote for it.
I hope it happens, but only in the best way possible, with no additional LAG.
Thanks to all the people creating these translators.
