by: Melanie Saxe Google has added new features to its Translator Toolkit, making it easier for users to collaborate on translations through chat. Similar to the features in Gmail, users can now send instant messages to colleagues, friends, family and groups and can even save translation chats in Gmail.

Google has also expanded the dictionary tab to include parts of speech and alternate definitions.
