| Meglobe
is an Instant Messaging service that allows you to send messages in
different languages. The translator translates your message from your
default language into several different languages which includes
English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Deutsch, Japanese,
Russian, Nederlands, Greek, Korean, Arabic, Swedish and Chinese.
To avail the service, you first have
to go through an easy process of registration. Once registered, you
will be able to see a messenger on your homepage. You can add/remove
friends, search a contact in your list, minimise the messenger or put
it anywhere on the window you feel comfortable with. Also you can
search people by their Meglobe id/username, country, location (State),
activity, interest, gender and primary language.
In its beta stage, the site has
certain flaws which can easily be fixed. You can’t customise your
status in the messenger, you can only set it to either available or
away. When you’re finding people by ‘activity’ or ‘interest’, you can
hardly get any result. This can be improved by giving users a drop down
menu containing various options including an ‘others’ options (users
will select this option if they can’t find any option of their
interest).
If
you remove anyone from list, he/she still appears on your list. You
can’t upload snap in your profile. When you login to your homepage you
can’t see options which lie at the lower side of the messenger (i.e.
add or remove contact options) because of an advertisement.
Furthermore if you resize your window
to half, the version of the application appears on the welcome message.
Translation from all languages should be available instead of only
default language. Unexpectedly logout is also not working.

The layout of the website is awesome
and the thing which I liked the most is their service of instant
translation and messaging. They have achieved the goal of providing
this service though they need to work on other features to make the
website more user friendly. Watching their attitude towards the service
I’m very much positive that they will remove the flaws soon. I’ve liked
the service very much and I’m optimistically looking forward for the
complete version of the application.
