BabelWith.Me is the latest service from Lifechurch.tv as well as the very latest in chat translation. There are other chat translation products on the market but we’ve yet to find anything as simple and convenient (or as free!) as BabelWith.Me. This is a great service for people looking to make friends or business connections worldwide.

Best of all, it’s ridiculously easy to use. After clicking “Start a conversation,” you’ll be taken to the chat room where you can invite your friends through Twitter, Facebook or email—and then begin chatting. And really, that’s about it. The chat link is located in the upper right hand corner of the web page if you’d like to send it to someone manually. In addition, you can select a different language if you want and view the chat in both your own language and in another.

In short, BabelWith.Me is not only a great idea but an incredibly easy-to-use and straightforward service. We have no doubt it will offer users a simple and convenient way to chat without those pesky language barriers.
