    I know this doesn't really fit into wireless news, but I felt it would benefit some here. (I can stretch it by saying that since this is a wifi solution, it fits, LOL)

    A while back Skype announced the development of realtime language translation and demonstrated it with some very touching real life examples of test cases. Today, I read the link below that it is now available to everyone.

    The only problem with electronic translators are homophones in different languages. Just look at how many English homophones there are:

    Excuse me did you say, "youth in asia" or "euthanasia" :LOL:

    @palandri: You really gave me a good laugh on that one. Decades ago I changed my birthname (first name) from what it was to Bartholomew. When I first shared that with friends, they retorted, "What did you say, 'barf all over you?'" I took it as good-natured teasing.
