[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 610593, member: 14557"] DDD: Heh, they are developing some simultaneous translator programs but I seriously doubt that those will be any good for long time, when it comes to actual translating speech that people talk. I mean, even text translators are not working much at all and with speech there comes to play things like slangs, dialects, accents, speech impairments and name it. I bet it will be long while before they can make any machine sort all that out. However, luckily things are not quite that bad normally for difficult child. That one crisis meeting was probably full of quick and heated discussion and that is something that is very difficult to translate to other simultaneously. Usually their meetings are more structured and need for translating is better accommodated and difficult child and his flatmate will get most of the message. Of course according difficult child coach's motivational speeches before game etc. tend to shorten from minute or few to 'Let's go and win', but I'm sure difficult child and flatmate are not loosing much in that. When you have heard your ten first motivational sport speeches from coaches, you have heard them all. And probably if it is exceptionally (unintentionally) funny or bad they are getting a more through translation ;) [/QUOTE]
