By what mechanism is the translation done? If it's not local, what is the transport mechanism to and from the translation service? I've done a lot of work on chat translation and you can't forget the privacy concerns. Not that Second Life chat is secure anyway, but people are going to want to know who their chats are being sent to. If it's going up and down the line via https, or some other secured transfer protocol, that's one step. However, a picky person would say that if the service logs the text submitted for translation (which Google does, to build up it's dictionaries) than it is a violation of the terms of service. Just saying...
