If you translate a text into English, Google has a text-to-speech service that lets you listen to the translation.
Google has improved the translation service for non-Roman languages: you can now read Chinese, Russian, Greek, Hindi, Korean, Thai or Japanese texts written phonetically in English. There's also a transliteration feature for Arabic, Persian and Hindi.

Google Translate is now accessible from Google's homepage: you can find it in the 'more' navigation menu. The service has been added to most international Google homepages in March and now it's available at google.com.
