What Did You Say?


How does a community of folks from various countries coexist and communicate? I dunno...

No, really, I mean, you try find something to translate your thoughts and ideas. Problem is the common translator sites (Google, BabelFish, etc.) are not always accurate (or correct).

But, never fear, there are a couple of sites that do much better at translating, say, German to English, or whatever you might need.

They are:

http://www.leo.org/

Now, until somebody invents the Star Trek tricorder that has a universal translator, and YES, there would be money involved. YOU could win $10 million from the X Prize Foundation. See it here:

So, go forth and boldly forge new relationships with your fellow humans and don't let the mere fact of differing languages stop you!
