Universal Translators are here and they are cheap

Pretty much what it would look like otherwise.

Anyone who matters speaks English.

I guess you have to define "matters"..... I run into people who speak Chinese, Isaan, Lao, Cambodian, and other languages all the time that only know a couple of words of English... They have no need for the language because everyone who "matters" to them speaks a language other than English. In business they hire a translator for 9 dollars a day... simple and no strain on the brain.

My dear wife speaks 2 languages as good as a native and can speak English kinda/sorta/ but some languages are not easy to transition to English.. She can make most English only speakers understand her, most of the time... If not I get the look of "help".

I think a translator that actually works in real time would be GREAT... but ... I will believe it when I see it..

yes there it is, thank you very much! get the admins to make it a button in the toolbar and my apologies to Scramjet, as I see he started it. I guess i just got so used to seeing you update it I assumed it was yours. Great job keeping it up to date though!
