I think we are going to have fun with these PCs! Us humans create
interesting bloopers, can you image what a PC translator could do????
Human example, that actually happened at the Monterey (Army) Language School
some years ago:
Translate the following (either from Russian to English, or perhaps it was
English to Russian.):
"The firefighter rushed into the burning house and emerged carrying
a child."
Translation: "The firefighter rushed into the burning house and came out
pregnant."

I've heard efforts of a universal translator through
Java being worked on as we speak. You'll be able to
go to any website written in any language and see it
in your default language. I only hope they fix the
little language snafus that crop up. And perhaps the
death of having to learn another language?
Gosh, I hope not. - Doug
