Google has integrated their translation tools into Google Talk application through chat bots. These chat bots can translate text of one language to another language and works as your personal language translation assistants.
[from language]2[to language]@bot.talk.google.com
For example, to translate a line from English to French, First add/invite en2fr@bot.talk.google.com in your chat list. And then simply chat the line you want to see translated. Following image shows few lines of chat conversation which I had with the bot to get English sentences translated to French.
