the translater idea are for most people that travel the world. first of all: did you ever try putting an english dvd and playing with the subtitles, it will translate any foreign languge to english or vice versa . so my idea is that we can acually create a device that would not only translate but somehow, when you speak, into that devise no mater what langauge. all you have to do is set the device to what ever languge you wold want to translate.
