| That's enough to warrant a PSP purchase for me. Seriously, if it really is like that, that's awesome. | |||

| Personally I'd rather have a small yellow fish that feeds on brainwaves. Then I wouldn't need an expensive handheld electronic device for which i have no use for. I mean couldn't they just make a standalone translation device? | |||

| Ah, translators. Capable of turning a perfectly gramatically correct piece of something in one language to a barely understandable approximation in another.
While the concept is indeed very cool, I am VERY dubious about the quality of it's translation. |

| The Japanese translating is going to be horrendous, Japanese is simply too different from those other Western languages, in terms of grammar, structure and pretty much everything, to accurately be translated back and forth. You'll try to say something like, "The gas station's on the left side, down that road." And it'll translate to, "Service station of the left side, profession." (I got that from a translator.) | |||

| It depends on how much WORK is put into the translator.
The grammar of various Western languages - Gretian, Romance, Slavic, Germanic or the "mystery languages" (hell, even the Finno-Ugraic) - are very different. I've had German translators pump out some hilarious shit when I need to get some work done. And don't even get me started on the state of most Latin translators. It's very difficult to have a machine translate into ANY language because a machine can't interpret cultural nuainces and other aspects. |

| Well, even with a massive amount of work I'm dubious about a translator based on speech, simply because of the likelyhood of misinterpreting the words said... | |||

Originally posted by Imajin Also true. I'd be surprised if this works well, because the amount of flaws in both translation technology and speech-recognition technology will add up and instigate monkey madness. |

| Sorry, but it makes me keep thinking on the Hungarian-English dictionary sketch by Monthy Python... the translation won't hopefully be that bad.
Although, I suppose the language the PSP learns is good enough for "shopping" "dining" and generally surviving in a foreign country.  |

| Given that most translation programs are fairly shoestring and won't be used for mass consumption they don't have big budgets. Also they generally don't have the amount of people that can be assigned to a project like this at firms where they usually make translators. It's quite possible that this will work. I'm not optimistic about it, but I'd finally like to see a translator that is pretty decent that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. | |||

| Eh, I figure America, at some point, will force everybody to speak English. So this is pretty useless. | |||

| The modern super economies are going to dictate the languages - plain and simple.
But that's not applicable to this discussion |

| Mate, what you Americans speak ISN'T English, it's American, there's a difference. I don't think we've ever forgiven you for inventing the word "Fanny-Pack"
So you'd LIKE to see all languages and nuances erased eh? How boring! |
