OLPC will be introduced in countries with languages that are not supported by linux, windows and co. Software and documentation translation is a big task.

Other translation software

Recommended by olpc:

http://translate.sourceforge.net/

This seems to be very similar: Rosetta is a Web-based system for translating open source software into any language.
