I used Google Translate a lot, to translate text from English to Chinese, or from simplified Chinese to Traditional. The process was like: you typed in text you had -> clicked the Translate button -> the page would help you to translate and then displayed the result.

Today, when I use google translate, I find that as soon as you put in a character, it will help you to translate. So I guess google has added AJAX function to the page, when you put anything into the text area, it will trigger the translation function, and begin to pull out data from the database(or something like that). It’s a quite interesting and useful example of using AJAX.
