Today, I was watching Human Target on Hulu when a commercial for Google's Epic Demos caught my eye. These girls successfully ordered Indian food in Hindi using Google Translator. I had to check it out for myself.
After misusing this fine piece of technology (saying dirty words and all my crazy thoughts), I fell in love with this thing! Unlike other translators that translate each. word. separately., the improved Google translator understands the context. I put in "The Hangover" and it gave me the Spanish name for the movie, not the word for a literal hangover.
The thing has audio for the translations (for some languages, not all). It gives off the Steven Hawking vibe, but it conveys the message clear.
In short, I'm going to have fun giving my boyfriend the silent treatment this weekend. Thanks, Google!
