Woohoooo!!
Chinese Seal Chop is listed in the Google Gadgets Directory. 
Judging from the feedback, 8 out of 10 users of the Chinese Seal Chop Widget for WordPress actually prefer the Chinese Seal Chop Google Gadget since it is faster to install and doesn’t require futzing with settings from a dashboard or re-uploading updates and patches every month.
I think the vision at Google is to completely relieve end-users from the burden of updating their software all the time, so they can focus on content development.
Try it out!
Hope this brightens your day!

If you view the Chinese results in Primezero i18n Terminal and have not installed Chinese characters, you only see blocks…
… then, check out this Installing Chinese on Windows XP Home tutorial I wrote up a while back…

Developer’s Notes
Introducing online Hanzi To Pinyin Conversion from Primezero i18n Terminal. You need to have a web browser (Firefox with Ruby XHTML Support Add-On, MSIE6 or later) that can read Ruby Characters. I am working on another version that will display the characters nicely for all web browsers. I wanted to get this version out.
Release early, release often.

Good question.
I am not really focusing on English to Chinese, actually I am focusing on Chinese as the pivot language and allow translators from all over the world to use this application for hopefully better understanding of language and culture.
If we understand each other, then we can have some world peace and quiet.
I am trying to develop a completely new way to provide translation to non-speakers and students learning of Chinese. There is a lot of scribble on the paper so please be patient whilst I bring the ideas from paper to production.
The concept is called the Primezero i18n Terminal. The platform is based on years of user feedback. You can start creating your own translation engine if you want using PrimezeroTools, freely available open source code at my Google Code Site, pzphp.
More details about Primezero i18n Terminal coming soon…
