gTranslate – Translation Anywhere on N900

by Farhan on January 8, 2010

Nokia N900 is full of little gems thanks to it’s open source nature and a growing developer community . Although much of the applications are available in the Untested Maemo Repository but still it never stops us from playing with them .

One of the smaller gems with a much bigger value is gTranslate
