Translating EPiServer Pages

Language Wire provides a translation service with a bit of a twist. They have a developer API that allows developers to hook any system into Language Wire's human translators. You could call it a 'machine to man' interface I suppose.
It works like this. Lets say you are publishing a new web page in your EPiServer site. You have the content in English, but you need it in German and French as well. With Language Wire's API, your EPiServer editor interface can include a 'Translate' tab to allow you to send the page to Language Wire, and request translation into the language(s) of your choice. After translation, the pages are returned directly into your EPiServer editor interface, where they can be published as pages.
This is not some 'Google Translate' equivalent, but a translation service delivered by real live translators, so you get results that are good enough to publish on your website.
