An anonymous reader writes "According to ScienceBlog, the U.S. Office of Naval Research, trying to keep friendly armies in Iraq from accidentally blowing each other to smithereens, is helping create software that connects instant messaging (IM) with machine translation (MT). The result: Chat software to be used in Iraq that automatically translates your messages into the correct language of the reader, called the the Coalition Chat Line - it's 'getting rave reviews from U.S. and allied-coalition personnel.'"

    This could be quite embarrasing for the US in some areas. GWB: We must find the WMD! Trans: Locate and take the oil! GWB: Protect the Iraqi people from terrorists! Trans: Enforce US version of democracy to Iraq and make them a puppetstate! GWB: Iraqi terrorists attacked US officer! Trans: US soldier attacked innocent Iraqi civilian.
