Speaking in Tongues

Desert1 writes "Carnegie Mellon's renowned computer science department has developed a system which allows for conversation between two different languages called Tongues. Currently this has been used between Croatian and English, perhaps one day they will be able to develop one that will allow politicians to talk to normal folks and be understood." It's been in development for a while.

Here are some sound clips...

"I am looking for the tobacconist."

"I need some matches."

"How much do I own you?"

The entire dictionary can be found here.

Even worse yet

How are we /ever/ going to get it into a package that is small enough it fit in your ear and watertight enough to let swim around in a bowl of water when you're not using it?
