Thanks jonerik, that's a great catch. Looks like its time to buy some gadgets soon for my in-laws to use when they go travelling overseas.
 
well thats gonna suck. Then from now on (if it gets succes that is) no one will ever try to learn new languages. it would just be waste of time if you can get all your sentences translated instantly.

" i can imagine Mr. pain from kung pow... Birdie, bird, pretty bird, bird
 
It did occur to me to wonder 'why the bird?'...?
