Google will have a Universal Translator in a Few Years Time
Google’s head of translation, Franz Och, has said in an interview with the Daily Mail that “speech-to-speech translation should be possible and work reasonably well in a few years’ time”.
There is already a foray of online translation programs on the web, with some being better than others. They can be useful when emailing or writing letters to people in different countries. If Google comes out with the technology that you install on your mobile and it can translate different languages on the fly, then that could mean great opportunity for businesses and consumers.
This would also bring to life StarTrek universal translator, but I guess that the universal translator is a technology that we will not see any time soon but is inevitable in that our technological progress will get us there.
