I look forward to the day where I'm wearing my headphones in a foreign land and hearing all of the discussions in my own language.
The "universal translator" which was part of Star Trek and a lot of other Sci-Fi I was exposed to as a kid was something I was really fascinated with. My Dad worked as a simultaneous French->English translator and sadly spent long hours away from home and, as a kid, I started trying to build a translator so that it could do his work and he could be home more.
Translation is important work and one that could help a lot of people. It's my hope that we get to the point where these models work entirely on locally carried resources.
