Title: Google Translate's No Babel Fish, but It's Cheaper Than a Personal Interpreter Post by: HCK on January 10, 2012, 03:01:13 pm Google Translate's No Babel Fish, but It's Cheaper Than a Personal Interpreter
Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide book series solved the problem of interplanetary language barriers with a Babel fish -- a little telepathic alien leech-like animal you stick in your ear that instantly translates any spoken language via pure brain waves. In the real world, about the closest we can get to that are online tools like Google Translate. http://www.macnewsworld.com/rsstory/74134.html |
