Babel Fish

New Scientis reports today about Live speech-translation technology. I can not help but associate this to the Star Trek gadget, the universal translator or, perhaps even more to the point, the babelfish.
The 'Live speech-translation' can evidently translate spoken words into synthesised speech in another language in real time. Now that will be 'a nail in the coffins' of us who have enjoy making use of the fact thqt we speak a language almost no one else understands in the world. From now on I'll have to start behaving myself also when I'm travelling. What a bummer....
