I create Translate Twitter Greasemonkey and Bookmarklet.
This script add "Translate!" link and language select pulldown on Twitter timeline.
The translate feature use Google AJAX Language API.
Greasemonkey:Translate Twitter
bookmarklet:Translate Twitter
Execute script on Twitter page, you can see "translate!" link in timeline area.
Script information and language select pulldown are at the top of sidebar area.
If you click the "translate!" linke, you can see translated words after the post.
The language is auto detected by Google API.But if the word is too short ,the language cannot be detected and show the error message.
If you want to translate with API unsupported translation pair, first the word is translated to English and the translated english word will be translated to the language you want to.
Enjoy!
2008.5.3 update

Please update the script from the link "latest version" on Twitter.com.
I'm using the greasmonkey script. I can see the sidebar and the pulldown, but none of the tweets have a "translate" link. What am I doing wrong? :(
