PDA Speech Translator

    Moderators, of which I have been one from time to time, need to do their research before modding. Or at least pay attention...

    I was about to say "All your Base are belong to us!" when I saw this post. You see, moderators, the "All your base are belong to us!" comes from a poor translation of a video game - and poor translation is not OFF TOPIC. We are talking about a translating device - which would give us potential real world "All your base are belong to us!".
