You know all those CDs they have about learning all those languages if your home language is english? And it says the words so you can hear it?


just take it and cross reference the databases to make a universal translator O_O

then all you have to do is get it on your phone then you type in the text you want to say, choose a language and put your phone on speakerphone and BAM it says it




or they can type in theirs and convert it backwards into your language (or you'd have to make voice recognition for all languages with the ability to tolerate different accents from different areas (ugggg not it lolz)

oh also thought of something, you could use an integrated version for forums and games etc to allow people of different languages to see the communications in their native language(based on their preference settings)

I don't think there is any software that would have those capabilities. Non human translations are always poor because of how complicated grammar is and the various meaning that words have in certain contexts which takes years for humans to grasp. The teaching software can't do what you are thinking.

oh it can't eh??

no. it cant. There is to much slang and shit. This is a fairy-tale idea.

Louis said it. Grammar is just too complicated with different languages, so no.

possible yes.

correct. no

you could translate stuff but 99% of the time it would come out massively fucked up if you could even understand what they were trying to get at.

This.

I know multiple languages, so I know this is true.

sounds complicated
