How come nobody makes (hint, hint) a device that is basically two head sets that will allow headset A to speak in say English and have it automatically translate to headset B’s language, and visa versa? When you travel to foreign countries, as I still do (especially the far east) I often have to hire a translator. Why, given the technology to translate languages from speech, can’t someone market a A-B headset that instantly translates what you’re saying back and forth? I speak, wearing headset A, the person wearing headset B hears what I said in Mandarin. The person wearing headset B speaks in Mandarin and I hear it on headset A in English. I know the translations won’t be perfect, especially when one uses slang or bad grammar, but it would allow one to travel the world without the need of a translator. You’d just have to hand the person you want to converse with headset B, that’s it.

If anyone could pull this off, it would be google. Will this tranlation app let you speak a sentence in English then say it out loud in another language? Can it then have a button to press that lets you hand the phone to the other person so that it translates visa-versa, their language to English?

Outstanding. I am a long time Win dev and I ordered a Dell laptop with Ubuntu just to do Android dev so I am the noobist of the noobs to this. I followed your post and in no time at all, I had my own ‘Hello Android’. The links you provide will keep me going for a while. Excellent job!

irrelevant but you might be interested to know that http://adwords.google.com is currently stuck in an endless loop.

(although it will probably be fixed by the time you see this, but if not, I am sure you know who to contact to get it fixed)
