    This is great and all, but they might not need this if they hadn't kicked out some of their real translators for being gay...

    @Brenton Poke: That's a stretch, but good for you for working that into this discussion where it didn't belong. Why do I say that? Because I highly doubt the less than 60 translators who were let go were handling the day to day real time translation of the boots on the ground.

    Isn't this what they have in Star Trek to explain why the crew can talk to aliens?

    Since I don't speak Arabic, I'm going to have to just trust that it's accurate.


    I think this would be a godsend for so many travelers. And it would be good for learning languages too. From what I understand the system they use in Iraq is really good, and I can't wait to see what they make for a consumer application. It will probably cost $399 though...

    Well, from what I have gathered from watching the documentary "Team America:World Police", Arabic only consists of the words Durkha, Jihad, and Muhammad, spoken in different combinations.

    I wonder if I can use this to talk to women...

    @Guymann: That would be an incredibly simple program to write. You only need two phrases - "You're right" and "No, you don't look fat".

    @Hello Mister Walrus: You haven't learned, "Yes dear" yet. You will.
